Centre Termolúdic Caldea, Escaldes-Engordany

The Caldea spa resort is the largest in Europe; based in the smallest state or principality in the old continent. It may also be the highest, since it is located above 1000 metres above sea level, in the Pyrenees. The thermal water here is highly, naturally enriched with minerals, which is ideal for the treatment of a number of skin conditions. The resort features both indoor and outdoor spas in a nice landscape. Available are most well-being treatments, not just saunas and pools, that would meet some people´s expectations.

Very nice place to visit after a day of hiking (or shopping). Looks stunning, water is very warm and relaxing. Some of the areas were closed off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were some problems with the computer system and our online reservation hadn't been processed properly. After some delay we finally got in. Children were a bit disappointed as there aren't many attractions for them (kids area was closed). We stayed till the end to watch the "show" in the evening. Frankly, a bit disappointing - just a few lights, loud music and some fountains. With such incredible interior the show is really a missed opportunity.
