Lady in Spain.

Today was one of the most relaxing days in Spain thus far. Let me tell you about a little thing called Banos Arabes (Arab baths), they are life changing. Picture it (golden girls, anyone?) a place where all there is to do is relax. I was not able to take pictures so I’m going to do my best to describe it. Imagine the pirates ride at disneyland, how its all dark and moist (but in the best way possible) ok, that wasn’t the best description BUT maybe you can set the scene a bit better now. Anyways, it is this place with seven different baths (big bodies of water, like a hot tub without jets.. so a big bath hah) but all seven are at different temperatures and so you can just be-bop to whatever one you wish. sit it in the hot one for a bit, then mozzy on over to the colder one so that you don’t boil over. I mean you have and hour and thirty minutes in there, so why not hit them all up. (be prepared for prunny fingers though, thats for sure) Everything was tile and mosaic and the most calming atmosphere.but wait, it gets better. You can also go over and sip on some tea (6 cups, later) and just relax in this dark, tranquil setting. there is mood music in the background and tea light candles everywhere, it is just bliss. My little nervous-nellie self REALLY needed this relaxing environment. PLUS there was an option to get a massage, which I was all over, so in between baths, I also got a lovely massage. It was just so fun to be with great friends, experiencing this new thing that I have never heard of before. It is a weird concept because Its like taking a bath with your friends.. in swim suites but trust me, it was real fun and REAL relaxing. a great way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon I’d say. Those Arabs know whats up.
