Aguas de Gredos is a rural spa in Hoyos del Espino, at 1,500 m altitude, using mountain water. It is a good way to round off a day in the mountains: after climbing to the Laguna Grande, an hour and a half in hot water makes a difference to your legs.
What the circuit includes
The hydrothermal circuit lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and takes in a jet pool, a jacuzzi pool, a toning plunge pool, a foot bath, a Turkish bath, a Roman thermal bath and bithermal and tropical showers. It also gives access to the heated pool, with a relaxation lounger. Besides the circuit, they offer massages and treatments of various kinds (therapeutic, hydrotherapy, body, energy and beauty) and there is an individual Niagara-type bath for €35. On the website they publish packages combining spa and treatment, such as a spa with full body treatment for €79; offers change, so check them before booking.
Prices and opening hours
The 90-minute circuit costs €38 per adult and the 60-minute one, €29. Two adults pay €65 from Sunday to Friday. Children pay €20 (90 minutes) or €15 (60 minutes), and over-55s €20 from 10:00 to 14:00. There are special prices for groups, to be enquired about.
From September it is open every day from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 21:00, except Tuesdays. Children can only enter from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00, and on Sundays all day: if you go as a family, plan the afternoon so as to arrive early.
Before you go
You must always book, because capacity is limited: do it through the website, with a form, or by calling 920 349 047 or 610 085 398. The email is [email protected].
Swimwear, a swimming cap and flip-flops are compulsory. A towel is not included, but can be hired for €1, and the changing rooms have free lockers. If you arrive straight from the mountain, bring a bag with dry clothes.
How to combine it
Hoyos del Espino is the village from which the road to the Plataforma de Gredos starts, the beginning of the route to the Laguna Grande, so the spa is on the way back. In the same village starts the horse ride through the Tormes valley: a morning on horseback and an afternoon at the spa is a good plan for anyone who does not want to walk much.
