Since before the times of Christ, there have been numerous references in history to spa therapies. La Garriga, a town that is only 25 minutes from Barcelona, has been famous for over one thousand years for the properties of its thermal waters. As early as the 9th C, the Roman town of Can Terrés was frequented by the Abadesa Xixilona, daughter of the Conde Guifré el Pilós, and later on, in the 16th C by the Reina María de Luna and her husband el Conde-Rey Martí I l'Humà. After the 19th C it became a spa for Catalan society.

This circuit consists of 3 pools of thermal water set at different temperatures, which is an exact reproduction of the ancient Roman customs.

Showers: As the name indicates this consists of five showers with different water jets and pressures, and a sixth shower with special features that makes it slightly different from the others. The alternating temperatures deliver a gentle massage that is on one hand stimulating and refreshing and on the other sedative and conducive to sleep.
