The Arab baths are also known as Banos Arabes in Spanish or Hammam in Arabic.  Travellers to Andalucia should at least alot a day for relaxation and what best way to attain this is by aroma therapy, massage, steam room and three temperature baths: warm, cold and lukewarm.  Not only will your body feel rejuvenated but your senses will also be uplifted.

Throughout the provinces of Andalucia you will find a local arab bath.  When the Moors have invaded Andalucia, they have brought along with them their culture and everyday practice.  For them, the process of steaming the body first makes it easier to exfoliate the bodies’ impurities.   The aromatherapies and essential oils are for the senses and helps the relaxation process.  

 Amongst the provinces, Granada probably has more arab baths due to its longer occupation by the Moors.  In the centre of Granada there is the popular Hammam Banos Arabes at Calle Santa Anna.  In Alhama de Granada, 53 km. west of Granada, you will also find arab baths and thermal springs.
