From steam baths in the Turkish hammam, wine therapies in France, thalassotherapies in Greece and even Alpine thermal baths, the continent has a wide network ofestablishments that claim their identity based on a custom that has been followed for many centuries. The most recent addition to the European model is fitness. Nowadays, gyms are an essential part of the endeavors that conceive wellbeing not only as a pleasant and relaxing experience, but also as a product of physical activity. Design is another great element that makes the spas of the Old Continent stand apart. They awaken the interest of great architects and inferior designers that do not hesitate to leave their imprint in these Spaces. Golf spas, ski resorts, thermal resort:s and health clubs are some of the new options available for a public that is eager to combine hobbies with relaxation and with the desire of escaping the daily routine.
