As Salinas Naturais de Rio Maior, também conhecidas como Salinas da Fonte da Bica, estão situadas no sopé da Serra dos Candeeiros, a três quilómetros de Rio Maior, em Portugal.

São compartimentos – talhos - feitos de cimento ou de pedra, de tamanho variado e pouco fundos, para onde, por regueiras, é conduzida a água salgada que se tira de um poço.

Presentemente, a água é elevada por meio de um motor e distribuída segundo um sistema conjuntamente aceite e respeitado (nem sempre) por todos os proprietários. Os esgoteiros, as eiras e as casas de madeira para armazenagem do sal, completam o conjunto do que é denominado Marinhas de Sal de Rio Maior.

Uma mina de sal-gema, muito extensa e profunda, segundo os técnicos, atravessada por uma corrente subterrânea que alimenta um poço, faz com que a água dele extraída seja salgada, sete vezes mais salgada que a do mar. Da sua exposição ao sol e ao vento e consequente evaporação da água obtêm-se o sal, depositado no fundo dos talhos e que depois é colocado em montes, em forma de pirâmides, para secar até ser recolhido.

O processo é rudimentar e semelhante ao usado nas salinas da beira-mar. Só há diferença no vale pitoresco que as rodeia, no poço, no estilo próprio dos marinheiros (como são conhecidos os homens que trabalham nas salinas), nas casas de madeira e no ar campestre que se respira.

Top Rio Maior Hotel Reviews

Hotel Magic - RNET 3505

10/10 Excellent

"David, was fantastic during check in! Gave lots of suggestions for places for us to visit during our onward trip to Porto. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Quiet street. Breakfast was great! Would stay here again. "

By The Sea

2/10 Terrible

"When we entered the room, there was an extremely strong and unpleasant odor. The smell was so severe that it was impossible for us to stay in the room. And the sofa for bed was too dirty even I didn't even want to sit down. Because of this issue, we had to leave immediately and book another hotel for the night. This caused us significant inconvenience and additional expense. We kindly request a full refund for this reservation. Please review this matter as soon as possible."

Mercure Fátima

10/10 Excellent

"First, the location is FANTASTIC if you want to spend quality time at the Sanctuary of Fatima. It's just 100 steps to the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity. Second, the staff there are great. Very friendly, efficient and accommodating. Third, the room is comfortable and well designed! So many power points/outlets. WiFi was strong. I'll stay here again!!!"

Hotel Estrela de Fatima

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel & rooms are well maintained & very clean! No stains or scuff marks! Room needs a centre lighting in our opinion. Air conditioning not functioning the way we expected. I love their pillows & I exactly needed 3! Staff who checked us in & Jorge were awesome, friendly & very helpful. Restaurant staff esp the manager were friendly, hard working & answered all our queries esp about Portuguese food. Learned a lot about codfish in Portugal! Dinner buffet on the second night was top marks! Sushi selection & appetisers & desserts made satisfied tummies & reasonably priced. Highly recommended if staying in Fatima. Just across the hotel are the main attractions! We were lucky that it was not a busy season when we went. "
