There’s nothing like an old recipe using ingredients offered by nature to take care of your health and to escape routine: fine weather, sunshine, clean air, clear waters, and plants and algae with therapeutic properties. You can depend on it. It may be at a thermal resort or a spa, by the sea or in the mountains.

There are different health and well-being programmes suitable for everyone. These relaxing moments, indispensable for restoring balance, can be undertaken in different ways.

At a thermal spa, using traditional techniques, enjoying the therapeutic properties and mineral richness of the waters; taking advantage of the extensive coastline and the Atlantic waters for thalassotherapy; or through relaxation sessions based on the regenerating effects of wine, chocolate or hot stones which you will find at spas and resorts as a complement to a holiday taken in style.
