Thermal-water bathing in the old wash-house of Caldes de Montbui: one-hour sessions, €8, booking required and from age 13.

What it is
El Safareig is the simplest and cheapest way to bathe in thermal water in Caldes de Montbui. It is a public wash-house from the mid-20th century, where locals washed clothes with the village's hot water, converted into a municipal thermal bath. It is not a spa or a wellness centre: it is a bathing room with mineral-medicinal water, for 15 people at most, in one-hour sessions.
Price, hours and booking

Price: €8 general admission. Reduced, €5.25: under-16s, Carnet Jove, students, retirees, pensioners and unemployed. A 10-session pass, €60, personal and valid for one year.
Bath and guided visit: €10 (€7.50 reduced), with the thermal circuit guided by the Thermalia museum at weekends.
Hours: Wednesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 22:00. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and from 27 January to 7 February for maintenance.
Booking: compulsory, on its website or at visiteucaldes.cat, paying by card. You receive a code by email that serves as your ticket. For same-day places, call 618 796 725 (Wednesday to Sunday, 10:30 to 14:00 and 16:30 to 21:00).
Changes: one, with 48 hours' notice, by email or from your account. If you do not go, it is not refunded.

Rules

Age: from 13. From 13 to 16, with a document proving it and a responsible adult. Children aged 3 to 12 only enter the Xip-Xap sessions, with a maximum of two per adult; under-3s may not enter, because of the water temperature.
What to bring: swimsuit, swimming cap and towel. They are not included and you do not enter with street shoes: bring flip-flops.
Shower before getting in the water, compulsory.
Punctuality: the session starts on the hour and lasts an hour, with 30 to 40 minutes of bathing. There are lockers with keys; the changing room is small, so it is best to come with your swimsuit on.

Getting there
It is on Plaça de Pau Surell, in the centre, a few minutes' walk from the Font del Lleó. Park in one of the village's public car parks and walk.
