Cage that takes miners and visitors to the bottom of the salt mine.
The access to this mine is at Combatentes da Grande Guerra Avenue, Loulé. This elevator (cage) takes 4 minutes between the top and the the bottom, 230 metres below. It is safe, even during earthquakes. Salt was accumulated between 230 and 150 million years ago, when the sea level was much lower - when the single continent Pangea was beginning to disaggregate.
