Hotel spa
This Hotel Balneario is situated on the outskirts of Medina del Campo, four kilometres in the direction of Velascálvaro (access from the village is signposted), in a palace built in the early twentieth century (in the style of the Magdalena Palace in Santander) in the countryside surrounded by beautiful gardens, which exude a calm and total tranquillity.
Although I did not stay there, I approached to visit it on the recommendation of someone from the tourist office, being that as well as the hotel itself and the therapeutic treatments offered in the spa area, it has a super cool cafe where you can have a drink in their gardens and view temporary expositions (on this occasion there were two, devoted to modern art sculptures, titled "itinerARTciones" and "Shared Nature").
Opposite the palace is the Millennium Chapel, an authentic work of avant-garde art for its exterior alone (too bad it is closed Sunday afternoons and I could not see the museum inside).
There were a fair amount of people out having a drink and viewing the garden expositions and entering the hotel, so I queued up ... it’s beautiful, decorated in full with curious antiques and last century furniture, huge chandeliers and carpets, not excessively, very tastefully. It has a three-star category but I got the feeling it had more.
It has 64 rooms, restaurant cafe, pool, tennis court, reading room, and, of course, spa, whose waters have the greatest mineralization in Europe. They offer all kinds of treatments, all under medical supervision (jets, thermal baths, swimming baths, sauna, massages, parafangos ((A combination of dehydrated beauty mud, paraffin’s, and other healing ingredients))...), curative as well as beauty based as well as special programs on the weekend.
Nearby there is a riding school and a golf course, so they also offer combination packages and deals in this regard. Truth is, I thought it was a great place and, above all, very tranquil. I was left with the urge to go enjoy a weekend of relaxation and total disconnection, I surely will another time.
