Weekend Vacay in Prat de Comte - Part 3, The Natural Spa

To take a rest from our biking trip along the Via Verde and refuel for some lunch, we stopped at the Balneario de la Fontcalda along the way. The warm water supposedly has some medicinal qualities. Nearby, there is a sanctuary where you can sleep or even camp out.

My first thought was, this is a hidden paradise.

It has some stable, family-friendly walkways.

And it's nicely nestled in between some rock formations.

I can't stop thinking "127 Hours". No one touch any small boulders!

Luckily, if you did get stuck in that tight spot, someone would definitely rescue you due to the many visitors.

There is a small natural bath perfect for some romping kids.

Paloma points to the healthy chlorophyll growing in the water.

Feeling the vibe of being in nature, Paloma does a little hula dance and pays homage to the springs.

People have been dipping their feet in the therapeutic waters since the eighteenth century.

Many more visitors arrived as we left. We'll bring our swimsuits next time maybe!

We arrived at the end of our bike trip where Team P rewarded themselves with some sliding at a playground.

Thanks for stopping by!

More to come!
