Zusammenfassung
Since its beginnings in 1802, salt mining in Torrevieja has changed drastically as regards its managerial structure and the expansion of its markets, which has encouraged both social and economic growth in that region. This project aim is to make a systematic approximation about the main characteristics of the industrial exploitation of the Torrevieja salt mines (NCAST, S.A.). The geographical criteria in this work has both a quantitative and qualitative approach and remarks its contents through the analysis of the evolution and current situation of the saltworks, evaluation of the principal markets and an study of the fluctuations in the gross production of salt depending on the behaviour of several meteorological elements.
