August 25 Free guided visit to the mud baths of San Pedro del Pinatar
Soak up the therapeutic qualities of the mud at the northern end of the Mar Menor
Since ancient times Man has been aware at some level of the therapeutic qualities of seawater and in San Pedro del Pinatar these qualities have been complemented by the special climatic conditions of the Mar Menor and the surrounding salt flats. These have led to mud deposits with a high percentage of positive ions, calcium, magnesium, potassium and fluoride, especially in the area called Las Charcas, where there are specially constructed mud bathing stations for those visiting and using the “Baños de Lodo”.
Las Charcas lies within the Parque Natural de Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar and is separated from the Mar Menor by a thin strip of land which is paved and offers some degree of shade. Walking down from the Molino de Quintín, visitors are greeted by the sight of wooden bathing platforms jutting out into the sea. These simple structures have ladders down into the water, and the procedure is very simply walk down into the water, bend over, and push hands down into the mud beneath your feet.
Bathers simply coat themselves in the mud before walking out of the water and onto the paved area or beaches opposite to dry off. Local legend says 9 baths will ensure perfect health!
This guided visit on 25th August begins at 18.30 at the Molino de Quintín windmill and lasts approximately 2 hours. It includes 2 kilometres of walking and of course drinking water and a cap are strongly advised.
The activity is entirely free of charge but prior reservations are required online here.
