Baños is well-known by its health resort with two buildings where the sulphurous waters are highly recommended not only to treat rheumatism, arthrosis and respiratory diseases, but also to relax and leave stress behind in an unique place.
The ancient baths preserve a Roman thermal bath with two pools in a beautiful underground vaulted hall. The Roman Thermal Baths Museum is a must visit where you can find pieces used for the baths from different periods. The modern facilities of the new building have placed these thermal baths among the best in Spain.
