Spas are starting to become fashionable. With the end of summer approaching in Spain, many people are starting to look for alternatives to the beach to relax for a few days. Thermal centers are spaces dedicated to wellness and relaxation , offering all kinds of natural treatments. Hydromassage circuits, foam or bubble baths, saunas, and contrast showers are just some of the services offered to improve circulation or relieve muscle tension .
And not only that, but many of their staff are also trained to perform massages or facials . Traveling around our country, we can find a long list of spas, each one more different than the next. One of them is the Balneario de Cofrentes , one of the largest in the province of Valencia .

This facility also features a medical area with therapeutic pools, medical consultations, physiotherapy rooms, and molecular diagnostic services for microbiome, genetic, and epigenetic studies.
