1. The Balnea thermal spa circuit (circuito Termal Balnea). This is a comprehensive and extensive spa circuit in which bathers pass through a wide range of different elements both inside and outside of the spa complex.

The Balnea Thermal Spa Circuit includes various saunas at different temperatures and levels of humidity, one of which is heated purely by the water of the spring while others use a variety of techniques. In addition there is a cross-current pool of minero-medicinal water with a temperature of 30 to 31ºC, a lemon pool (with fresh lemons floating in water at a temperature of 34 degrees), a flotation pool providing conditions similar to the Dead Sea, a cold water pool at 20 degrees, an igloo at approximately 2ºC, contrast showers, corridors containing alternating jets of warm and cool water, warm hammocks and infrareds:

Facilities:

Saunas at varying temperatures and relative humidity levels

Estufa Archena: a damp stove sauna with relative humidity of over 90 per cent and a temperature of close to 50ºC, which is created by the micro-dispersion of the medicinal mineral water of the thermal spring at the Balneario de Archena.

Counter-current swimming pool containing medicinal mineral water at a temperature of between 30ºC and 31ºC.

Natural essence of lemon pool with a system of bubbles and a waterfall of medicinal mineral water at a temperature of 34ºC.

Floatation pool with increased mineral content (80 grams of salt per litre), providing a sensation of isolation and sensory stimulation at a temperature of 34ºC.

Cold water pool containing medicinal mineral water at a temperature of approximately 20ºC, helping to dissipate the heat stored in the saunas.

Igloo: an ice cave at a temperature of around 2ºC, allowing a gradual and progressive loss of heat and a sensation of gentle serenity.

Thermal contrasts: a series of thermal sensations using various programs, leading to different phases of stimulation and relaxation by means of cold and warm water.

Walk-in shower corridors: two corridors of medicinal mineral water, one at approximately 32ºC and the other at 20ºC, allowing the legs to perform passive vascular exercise which improves circulation (the heat causes the veins to dilate, while the cool water produces vein contraction).
