Torre Salsa, Mediterranean memory written in rock
The regional listing connects geology with the sea basin’s history.
Torre Salsa’s rocks record processes far older than human settlement. The regional listing links their formation to evaporite deposition during the partial drying of the Mediterranean basin.
This changes the scale of the landscape: a cliff is also a natural archive. Geology complements habitat stories, without substituting for safety guidance or authorising access to every stretch of coast.
