In the salt museum you find all manner of things made from salt. However the most popular subjects for this model making craft are sailing boats.
The ones in this picture from Informacion are entrants in the 39th Annual Competition held in Torrevieja. In all 180 people of different ages and nationalities entered their precious and very delicate models this year. Although many are from Torrevieja, entries come from all over Spain.
How are they made? Apparently you create a skeleton out of wood and string and then leave in it a salt lake to become encrusted. It sounds simple enough but I bet there are a lot of failures along the way.
