\"Hot<\/a>

Hammam Al Andalus Granada<\/p><\/div>\n

The Hammam Al \u00c1ndalus in Granada is one of the top Turkish baths in Spain. If you want to treat yourself, you can go for the so-called “Al-\u00c1ndalus ritual”: bathing in cold, hot and warm water; make sure you stop at the aromatic rest room; and a traditional kessa massage on hot stone. The latter is done with a special cotton fibre glove (the ‘kessa’ from which it gets its name) and a red grape soap mixture producing a very creamy foam and moisturising the skin generously. It is ideal for removing toxins and relaxing. Can you afford to miss it?<\/p>\n

Hammam Open Space<\/p><\/div>\n

The Hammam at Malaga is located in the old Jewish quarter in M\u00e1laga in the heart of the capital, not far from the Plaza de la Merced. It is divided into three rooms. The first is hot and is 45 degrees with a dome on the roof which attenuates the light from outside, and a large octagonal hot stone below which you can sit or lie on. There are also several pools around the room emanating hot and cold water. This room is the warmest and raises your body temperature, opening your pores and causing you to sweat. The warm room is at about 40 degrees. Your body is cleaned and exfoliated with soap and an exfoliating glove, and then cooled with water in the room and showers. This room is where people usually spend the most time because its temperature and atmosphere is very nice. Finally, there is the cold room where you can choose to have a massage with soap or just relax and wait for your body to cool down. A unique experience that will leave you like new.<\/p>\n

In Alhama, there are some natural pools which are open to all and in high demand by bathers. There are three baths: one made of cement which is the hottest, right where the water comes out at more than 40 degrees. The other two are cooler but have the advantage of being made with stones from the river itself. It is very difficult to find a quiet place as there is usually quite influx of people at any time, but we recommend going early in the morning or before dawn because there is no better gift for your eyes than watching the sun rise while quietly immersed in the pools.<\/p>\n
