Enjoy a Mud Bath in Murcia, Spain


San Pedro de Salinas, located near Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort in Murcia, Spain, is a regional park that is positioned on the Mar Menor and is known by many for its mud baths.

The San Pedro de Salinas offers visitors the largest therapeutic open air mud bath in all of Europe. The mud here is known by many to stimulate the healing process for various health problems, such as skin problems, rheumatism, arthritis, throat infections and rehabilitation of sorts.

Due to the long hours of sunlight and the high level of salt in the water, the mud found in the Mar Menor is rich in minerals like magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, iodine, bromide, and fluoride, which many believe act as a healing agent. Those who take mud baths cover themselves in this mud, let it dry, and then rinse it in the waters of Mar Menor.
