Having received documents at the Spanish visa center in Moscow, you can go not only to the sea.
The bulk of those wishing to go to Spanish seaside resorts have already passed. However, the number of those wishing to go to Spain remains high. After all, you can relax in Spain not only in the summer and not only at the sea. While the ski season has not yet begun, you can visit one of the thermal resorts of Catalonia, of which there are currently more than ten.
Relax with health benefits
There are about 50 thermal springs in Catalonia, on which modern thermal resorts have been built. In recent years, the number of foreign guests visiting these resorts has increased significantly.
Thermal spas are located almost all over Catalonia, including its coasts. The most popular source of mineral waters in this region is Vichy-Catalans. Enjoyment of the healing properties of local waters has been known since 1881. The history of thermal treatment goes back centuries and goes back to the times of the Roman Empire.
If you want to relax in the most famous resort of Catalonia and at the same time stay close to Barcelona, it is recommended to visit Caldes de Montbui. Even in ancient times, the Iberians and Romans knew about the healing properties of the local thermal waters. In the Roman Empire, Roman military leaders often came here to restore their health after military operations. The Roman baths of Montbui are considered one of the best monuments of this kind.
Caldes de Montbui was one of the leading European thermal resorts in the last century. Some hotels were built in the 19th century and equipped for water treatments.
The local spring is considered the second hottest in Europe, after the spring in Italy. Its temperature is 73-74 degrees. The fountain at the spring outlet was built back in 1581.
Residents of the city love to walk around the square where this fountain is located. The water from the spring creates a stream that runs under the pavement, which helps keep the square warm even in winter.
What other resorts can you visit if you have documents from the Spanish visa center in Moscow and a desire to improve your health?
Another famous thermal resort in Catalonia is Montrbió del Camp. It is located on the Costa Dorada and also has an ancient history. The hotel at this resort offers more than 100 wellness treatments based on thermal waters. The programs, created by local specialists, allow you to restore not only your health, but also your youth.
The hotel has a water complex “Aquatonik”, where visitors can plunge into healing thermal waters and have fun on artificial waterfalls and water slides. The temperature difference – from 17 to 36 degrees, adds special pleasure.
One of the attractions of the resort is the public laundry, built in the 19th century. Despite the presence of washing machines and dryers, it still functions. Local residents come here to wash clothes using hot thermal water.
The resort of La Garriga is famous for its high content of a number of minerals, especially silicon. This mineral has a positive effect on the skin and has long been used for cosmetic purposes.
Each thermal resort in Catalonia is unique. Tourists not only enjoy the healing water treatments, but also the architectural heritage: the appearance of many small towns has hardly changed over the past centuries. Therefore, a health holiday in Catalonia promises to be useful and interesting!
