Archena Termal in the Segura river valley of Murcia, in southeastern Spain, has been one of the country's most popular therapeutic spa resorts since Roman times, when its chloride-sodium sulphurous springs — which emerge at 52°C in a dramatic gorge of the Segura — were already developed for bathing. The three historic hotels of Archena Termal, clustered around the original spring house, have been receiving guests continuously for centuries, creating an atmosphere of traditional Spanish balneario elegance that few other resorts can match. The warm dry climate of Murcia, combined with the therapeutic sulphurous waters, makes Archena particularly attractive in winter. Its position in the fertile Segura valley, surrounded by orange and lemon groves, adds to the sensory pleasure of any visit.
