The Councillor for Tourism and Culture, Silvia Egea, accompanied by Pedro Vallejo, representative of Salinera Spanish and José Andrés Lorente, President of the Association of Friends of Museums, opened the ethnographic exhibition commemorating the 95th anniversary of Spanish Salinera in San Pedro del Pinatar .
It was a July 24 but in 1920 when Salinera Spanish bought the Salinas to the "Association of Maritime Salinas de San Pedro del Pinatar", since then, and as shown in this exhibition through documents, manuscripts and photographs, many things have changed in salt mining, for example, went from animal traction to the mechanical and external transport went from done in carts to be held in trucks, production was mechanized and reached full power of machinery, these improvements have continued to but today, without forgetting the origin, so these documents now on display at the Centre for Tourism Initiatives, they have remained stored for preservation.
The Councillor for Tourism moved that this exhibition is the prelude to a series of activities to be undertaken next year, coinciding with the 750th anniversary of the Salinas property of the Crown of Castile and thanked Salinera Spanish in San Pedro del Pinatar would also care this historical material pinatarenses.
For his part, Pedro Vallejo recalled that Salinera has always been linked to the business and social life of the municipality and remains so despite the weather.
