PIRANSKE SOLINE GIFT SHOP, LJUBLJANA:Times have changed since Roman soldiers were paid in salt but this mineral still ranks as one of life's essentials. Here at Piranske Soline the canvas bags that fill the windows and the shelves are full of the stuff.

There is salt for cooking, including the famous Piran salt, hand-scraped from coastal deposits, along with salted chocolates and a wide range of salt-related accessories such as salt mills and containers. And if all the walking you've done has made you a little weary, you can pick up some pick-me-ups in the form of bath salts and scrubs.
