Eight are the spas identified today in Estremadura. If you like to mix the rest with some historyyou have in the
Alange Spa, in the province of Badajoz, and in the
Montemayor Baths Spa, in the province of Cáceres, two clear examples of legacy of the romans, who already used the water with therapeutic uses.
The first, eight kilometers from the then Emerita Augusta, it seems that it was created in honor of the Goddess Juno in the 3rd century BC. C. In 1993, the Roman terms were declared World Heritage as part of archaeological site of Mérida. Now these are combined with shower galleries and bathtubs of the XXI century. While the second, built in the 2nd century BC. C., was used and revered to alleviate some ills in the sulphurous waters from his aquatic lagoon, which comes from Column and Manhole springs.
However, if you are looking to enjoy the nature, among the cherry, oak, chestnut and olive trees, you can delve into the modern
El Salugral Thermal Resort, at Ambroz Valley (Cáceres), and dive into their highly mineralized hypothermal waters, bicarbonated, lithinic, fluorinated and sodium sulfates.
Within the same province, take advantage of the time of the cherry blossoms, in spring, to go to
Jerte Valley Spa that, 19 kilometers from Plasencia, makes use of a spring of water reputed for its therapeutic purposes and his great medicinal mineral wealth. As an anecdote, according to historical references, here was the resting place of the Gothic kings known as Villa Gérticos.
The Mediterranean oak and cork oak forest stretches across the meadows of Extremadura, in which two other pleasant places appear: the
Brozas Spa Hotel in the San Gregorio Baths, whose origin also goes back to the Roman age, and the
Fuentes del Trampal Spawhose oligometallic waters They were already used by the locals, who liked bathing in jars, for bringing remarkable benefits.
Already in Badajoz, in the municipality of Puebla de Sancho Pérez, the
El Raposo Spa it’s an opportunity to try one of the few spas from Spain specialized in applying natural sludge originating from a nearby stream to the spa facilities.
And we only have left, in Valdecaballerosmake a stop at the
Spa Valdefernando, where some oligometallic waters, of weak mineralization and radioactive at a temperature of 26ºC.
