Balneario de Archena

Went to Archena Spa this week-end. Had a very relaxing time. I was treated to the Archena Massage. A kind of massage that is applied front and back, head to toe, under showers of mineral-medicinal water by using thermal mud from the dead sea as a massage rub. Lasted about 25 minutes. When you are finished, you hop off the table and she uses a hose to rinse all the mud off, front and back. That part was a little uncomfortable for me. But all in all, totally relaxing. You can see the Roman ruins from the baths were it is said the Roman soldiers often came to heal their bodies after their battles. Hmmm to think that Marc Anthony may have bathed in this very spot. ... I had a great time.
