In Escarabajosa, in Castile and León, slightly alkaline bicarbonate water (pH 8) emerges at 38°C. The facility offers indoor pools, massage treatments and a sauna, providing a wellness stop in the heart of the Castilian plateau.
Insider tip — Escarabajosa sits on the high Castilian meseta south of Segovia, where bicarbonate waters emerge in a landscape of wheat fields and holm oak dehesa — a stark contrast to the mountain spa settings more common in Spain. The historic balneario building dates to the 19th century and retains a formal, old-world elegance uncommon in modern wellness resorts. The nearby Riaza River canyon provides a spectacular hiking backdrop, and the medieval walled town of Ayllón is only 20 km away. The altitude (around 1,000 m) keeps summer temperatures pleasant even in August.
