What it is
The Espai CEL is the leisure thermal circuit of the Hotel Balneari Termes Victòria, on Carrer de Barcelona, two minutes from the Font del Lleó. It is seven pools with different temperatures and sensations, a sauna and a mist shower, in the old tanks where the thermal water was cooled, under Catalan brick vaults. The water is that of the village spring, which emerges at 74 °C. You do not need to stay at the hotel.
