Baños Árabes

Ooooh yes, just there, down a bit. Stop it, stop it, I love it. Happily purring away as my back is massaged. Don Duende & Señora Comecocos are twittering on about the Baños Árabes and accompanying massage. The massage sounds good but I probably wont appreciate it as I have my fair share of massages each day. As for sitting in a warm bath with a crowd of strangers I'll pass.

Factoid: In Moorish times in Al-Andalus (the name given to the Moorish dominions in Spain) there was a bath on every street, gurgling with steaming water, crowded with the devout going about their ablutions. The city of Córdoba alone could boast 600 public baths in its 11th-century heyday. After the Moorish cities fell to the Christians the baths were closed down or demolished but now, more than 500 years on, a modest revival is gaining momentum. “A fiesta for the senses”
