White Gold
The river Mondego estuary has an intricate network of water channels that form the Figueira da Foz salt marshes in Portugal.
Over the course of a year we followed the work of the seafarers along the south bank of the river Mondego and learned the complexity of the traditional salt crystallization process, also known as White Gold.
