Balneario de Marmolejo
The Marmolejo public spa building dates from the first half of the twentieth century, and is housed in an eclectically styled set of buildings on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Among its beautiful gardens, a building from the end of the nineteenth century particularly stands out, known as Casa del Médico, which currently houses the Interpretation Centre. The Spa has three springs of mineral-medicinal waters (Fuente Agria, San Luis and Buena Esperanza) believed to heal the kidney, stomach and liver. Formerly it also had bathtubs where people could submerge themselves to obtain the benefits of the waters on their skin. This spa appears in the story of the novel “Sister San Sulpicio” by Armando Palacio Valdés. It has recently been renovated. Located north west of Marmolejo, off the A-420 km 7.
