3000 years of salt

I want to share a story about the salt mine called Salinas de Hortales.  It's located in the town I grew up, in an area where the Phoenicians settled 3,000 years ago. The salt mine was later part of the Roman empire's legendary city of Iptuci, located 100 kilometers from the sea in a mountainous region of  the Sierra de Cadiz. Today, the family that mines the salt flat uses the same centuries-old natural techniques in the village of Prado del Rey in southern Spain's Andalusia.

Searching for the essence

Farmer Fernando Mulero Ardila has devoted much of his life to searching for and finding currents of water moving under his farm using a pendulum.

For a lack of water to irrigate his crops, Mulero started using a pendulum and became a "Zahori," or a "water diviner."  His search has located almost a dozen of wells and has made his land more valuable. Mulero explains his experience on the importance that one has on the primary element of life: water.
