This dizzying rate of degradation, in which 93.3% of the platforms practically disappeared in barely 40 years, led the Provincial Council of Álava to promote the recovery of the whole area. To this end, a Master Plan was launched, whose main objective was to diagnose the problems that caused the ruin of the valley and to indicate the most appropriate way and means to rescue them from the oblivion to which they had been subjected during the last forty years, preserve them, maintain them, take care of them, use them, teach them and, through their use, guarantee their survival for future generations.The phrase that best reflects the philosophy of the work carried out for the Master Plan we believe is: "Know to restore, restore to survive". It must be taken into account that the image offered by the Salt Valley today is the result of a complex evolutionary process, both from the political and economic and social point of view, which began when the first man took advantage in prehistoric times of the brine from its springs to make salt and ended when it ceased to be produced and the salt mines were abandoned. In order to recover Añana it is necessary to understand this process, since in this way we will recover from oblivion the empirical knowledge developed during millennia by the salt makers and we will avoid making their mistakes during future works. Consequently, the methodological procedure of the Master Plan is based on three interrelated basic pillars. The first is "documenting", the second "analyzing" and the third "proposing"
