Thermal baths in Spain
Spain's bathing traditions run from the balnearios, spa towns built around mineral springs in the interior, to the Arab baths revived in the old cities of Andalusia, and to Galicia, where Ourense's hot springs have been used since Roman times.

Questions about Spain
Can you go to an Arab bath in Spain without a swimsuit?
No. At Hammam Al Ándalus in Granada, Córdoba and Málaga bathing is mixed and a swimsuit or bikini is compulsory. Underwear doesn't count, and there are no nude sessions.
How long is a session at Hammam Al Ándalus?
Sessions run for a set time, usually 90 minutes. In Granada and Málaga any massage is taken inside those 90 minutes, and Córdoba sells shorter baths combined with a massage or a kessa scrub.
Can children go to the Arab baths in Spain?
Yes, from 5 in Granada and Córdoba and from 6 in Málaga. In Málaga under-18s come with an adult.
How do you get to the Arab baths in Granada, Córdoba and Málaga?
In Granada all buses stop at Gran Vía, about 5 minutes' walk, and there's a taxi rank at Plaza Nueva. In Córdoba, buses 1, 3, 7 and 12 go to San Fernando and 2, 3, 6 and 9 to Puerta Sevilla. Málaga's bath is 3 minutes' walk from Plaza de la Constitución.
Do you need a swimming cap at a Spanish balneario?
Usually, yes. The balnearios at Lanjarón, Alhama de Granada, Baños de Montemayor, Archena, La Hermida, Cuntis and Panticosa all require one, as do the Balneario de Arnedillo, El Safareig in Caldes de Montbui and the Aquatherma circuit at Termas Pallarés. Espai CEL at Termes Victòria, also in Caldes, needs no cap, though long hair must be tied up. Several also want flip-flops, and Panticosa sells caps on site. Ourense's municipal pools ask for swimwear, flip-flops and a towel.
Where can you bathe in hot springs outdoors in Spain?
Ourense has the most, and there are more in La Rioja, Cantabria, Aragón and Murcia. The city has open-air pools along the Miño, among them A Chavasqueira, Outariz and Burga de Canedo, for children from 10. At Arnedillo in La Rioja, free pools on the bank of the Cidacos range from 38 to 48 °C, about 600 m from the village, and the Balneario de Arnedillo sells tickets to its outdoor thermal park. La Hermida has open-air pools at 38 °C around a thermal cave, and Termas Pallarés a natural thermal lake at about 28 °C all year. In Murcia, the Balneario de Leana at Fortuna keeps two hot outdoor thermal pools open all year.
