Properties of our unique water
The “universal solvent” is the fundamental component of living beings: water is the source of life and it is essential for the human existence. The mineromedicinal Spring in Caldes d’Estrac is heated and mineralized at 2,800 meters depth, emerging at 38.8°. This is a magnificent and unique pure crystalline water, constantly flowing in the Balneari, preserving its original healing and therapeutic properties: physical, such as the contained minerals, and specially, chemical (ionized and nitrogenous – radon gas), more difficult to preserve if the thermal water should be heated or cooled.
