Thallassotherapy is a popular type of seawater therapy that can only be offered in locations near the sea. Water must be piped in directly to the spa. At Thalacap Catalogne the treatment for "vitality and relaxation" is presented through a series of treatments delivered over a span of 5 days with roughly 5 treatments a day during a 3 hour session. You are free to avail yourself of other amenities at the hotel but may want to save time for sightseeing. Treatments consist of a combination of whirlpool baths, jet baths, water resistance and aerobic exercises in large pools. Jet therapy is delivered in a large pool as well as individual high-pressure jet therapy, deep tissue massage and seaweed and algae wraps. The final effect was quite beneficial while I admit the processes were, at times, somewhat daunting.
