Spa Day


Difficulty Easy 25-50 €

A spa is a place where a series of treatments are offered to increase the well-being and health of the recipient. Normally, we would call such a place a health resort, but 'spa' sounds much more chic, and in a society like ours, that's highly valued. As a cultural note, 'Spa' is an acronym from 'Salus per aquam,' which is the name adopted by a Belgian city in the 16th century, known worldwide for the healing properties of its thermal waters.

If you're tired of typical couple outings, opt for a spa visit or something similar, and you won't regret it. For a modest price (around 20 euros per person), you can enjoy sessions lasting over an hour, guaranteeing total relaxation by the end. And it's not just about the treatments received (bubble baths, cold and hot water baths, oil showers, massages, aromatherapy, ...), many of these places are beautifully constructed, making the experience even more gratifying. Such is the case with the Arab baths found in many Spanish cities.

In case all of the above isn't enough, it's not uncommon for these places to have some type of establishment where you can taste exotic drinks. A reference in this regard is again the Arab baths, which often feature a tea room where you're sure to find new flavors.

A little tip for those of you who are encouraged to try the spa is to book a late session, so there are fewer people and you can enjoy your stay there with greater intimacy, something more than recommended if you're going as a couple.

So, if you've run out of ideas for places to go as a couple or with friends for a good time, pull a spa visit out of the hat. You'll like it and want to go again. Guaranteed ;)
