There are few things more relaxing than a hotel spa. Especially after a week of intense work, probably with hardly any time to rest.
Arriving at your chosen destination, entering the room and getting ready for a restorative bathing session is a priceless pleasure. Or yes, but a very convenient price if you take advantage of one of these weekend spa offers.
Taking a relaxing bath in a hotel is one of the best plans for a relaxing stay
It is said that the anglicism spa (with which in English we know the thermal or hydrotherapy centers whose main objective is relaxation) has its origin in the Belgian town of the same name. This town was already well known during the Roman Empire for the curative capacities of its thermal waters, which it has maintained until the present time. In the sixteenth century the word was incorporated into the English language, from which it has made the leap to other European languages.
In the Nineteenth Century, Spa became a tourist pole for the European aristocracy and high bourgeoisie. Eventually, the concept has spread so much that today it encompasses thermal centers or old spas, also very fashionable among tourists in the first decades of the twentieth century. A spa is a place where therapies, massages, hydrothermal treatments and relaxing activities are offered with water, generally with mineral and medicinal properties. These waters usually come from natural springs and are used in the pools, jacuzzis or saunas of the establishment.
In any case, nowadays it is clear that it is not necessary to travel to Belgium to enjoy a spa. In fact, it’s more accessible than ever thanks to websites like BuscoUnChollo, a website that channels last-minute deals on destinations, accommodations, restaurants or attractions, to the customers who are looking for them. In other words, it is a way of directing customers to the last-minute offers that destination providers make because they have not been able to place them weeks in advance.
Enjoying a spa weekend is the perfect plan
