El aire de Barcelona
‘El aire de Barcelona’ or the ‘air of Barcelona’ is one of the city’s most famous spas. The spa is located in the old town area of Borne at the site where the defensive wall of Ciutadella was erected. It is built around an ancient Arabic bath which was restored by the spa’s founders.
The ancient wells which formed part of the water reserve system in the old city, also form part of the modern day spa. ‘Aire de Barcelona’ is keen to maintain an atmosphere of silence and soothing aromas so clients can fully immerse themselves in the centuries old treatments, from salt water bath to steam bath and massage on a warm marble surface.
The bath allows clients to immerse themselves in waters of different temperature from ‘The templarium’ (97˚F), into the ‘Caldarium’ (104˚F) and finally the colder waters of ‘Frigidarium’ (61˚F). This thousand year old technique of exposure of the skin to different temperatures has a beneficial effect on the skin.
