AIRE Ancient Baths, the finishing touch
Essential in this trip of disconnection and tranquility was a visit to the exclusive Spa, the only one of the international chain AIRE Ancient Baths located outside an urban nucleus. Those of Vallromanes are located within the Mas Salagros complex and complete a unique experience in the middle of nature. Its philosophy consists of recovering the ancient tradition of the Greek and Roman bath and incorporating this concept in reconstructed historical buildings, in this case incorporated in a farmhouse from the 14th century in which, in addition to the benefits of its treatments, you will take those of living an experience unique and connected to nature. A wonderful journey of sensations through the contrasts between the warm, hot and cold water bath, without forgetting the mythical steam baths and the Mil Chorros bath, or the glorious Salt Bath, the best place to indulge in the pleasure of floating up.

The gastronomic offer of the Eco-Resort is based on the Mediterranean gastronomy made with 100% organic and local products. Part of them come from the Salagros Farm itself and its garden, where they grow and produce fresh and seasonal products. In order to ensure the optimal quality of its products, the gastronomic offer of the Resort's restaurants varies according to each season. Its purpose is to elaborate gastronomy of a high culinary level, healthy, tasty and ecological.
