We talked to the owner Sven Warth about how he came up with the idea, why people go there, and where all the salt comes from.

In her first posts she has been writing about walks and hikes that she has tried out and documented, and whilst not many tourists probably take hike boots with them on holiday at the moment, she is opening up a new side of Lanzarote that may well catch on with walkers in the future.
