Hydrotherapy haven

TORREVIEJA is transforming disused land in the city to become a stateof ­ the ­ art hydrotherapy centre. The project which was announced on Tuesday, April 4 will promote the town’s salt lakes as a tourist and health resource, while preserving historic buildings including factories.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a bathing area complete with saltwater and mud therapy experiences, all while respecting the natural environment’s aesthetic features. Project leaders will also build an artisan Salt ­ making School and a museum, discovery centre, and restaurant.

The hydrotherapy centre is also set to become the epicentre of education and research into the region’s iconic salt lakes, shedding light on the salt extraction process and its various uses in health and science.

Eduardo Dolón, the mayor of Torrevieja, said the hydrotherapy centre will bring a new level of excitement and innovation to the town’s salt lakes.

The council is currently working with developers, Salins, to reach agreements on land use.

The new hydrotherapy centre will offer a new insight into Torrevieja’s renowned salt lakes, providing an opportunity for tourists and locals to experience the healing properties of saltwater and mud therapy.
