Villa Padierna Thermas De Carratraca

About

The origins of the Thermal Spa Baths go back to the eighteenth century, when the amazing healing powers of the sulphurous water and the natural springs which surrounded this small settlement in Carratraca gained an almost legendary reputation, with them being regarded as "miracle" waters. The Spa at Carratraca was built by the Earl of Teba, father of the Empress of France, Eugenia de Montijo (wife of Napoleon III) and of the Duchess of Alba. During the nineteenth century, it became one of the most famous spas in Europe and its waters won awards on two occasions, both in Paris in 1878 and in Madrid in 1873, claiming the gold medal award for the best medicinal-mineral water. Our team of medical specialists and healthcare professionals have studied the sulphur, calcium and magnesium properties of the water, creating Total Immersion Programmes so the client can gain maximum. benefit from its unique characteristics.
