About
Small lakes with very warm water, and deck and step access provided. People bathe in these pools and smear the mud from the bottom over their bodies. The mud is reportedly excellent for damaged skin and for arthritic pain.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Free of charge. Good space and enough mud for everyone. Smells bad, but they say that the mud is Healthy. You might have to park many 100 meters away from the place. Nice Beach 30 meters from the mud.

A fun thing to do, completely free of charge. Go prepared, with a small bucket or cut off bottle to scoop the mud with. We also bought 2 cheap sponges from the supermarket to clean it off with, afterwards.
Cover yourself in mud or couples cover each other (very funny to do). Bake yourself in the sun, you can walk about nearby or stay on the wooden platforms.
When you’re ‘done’, slip into the warm, very shallow salt waters to rinse off.
There are also the usual beach showers the other side of the promenade, but you shouldn’t be swimming in the Sea with the mud on your body (see advisory notice).
Flamingos frequent the salt lagoons too, which is really special.
Plenty of nearby places to eat and drink and a nice beach, too. Well worth a trip.
*Don’t wear anything special. The mud has slightly stained the white part of my cozzie. Your skin will feel super soft afterwards. You’d pay good money to do this anywhere else! Fab day out.

Just on the way back to Vera after our visit to the mud Bath at San Pedro , happy and relaxed after our spa treatment at the mud baths, what a treat it was and such fun , take a small bucket to scoop up the mud and slap it on your skin, let it dry for 20 mins then rinse of and your skin will be baby soft , there’s also a little hypersaline canal at the side which is salt water , you really need to soak in this after the mud Bath it’s amazing and it’s all free , I would have gladly paid for this experience , I feel like I have had a spa treatment , and the surroundings are beautiful having flamingos so close , don’t miss this wonderful day if you need something a little different .

This is the place I come to whenever I need to unwind, relax and recharge.
The clay is absolutely AMAZING, who cares if it smells a bit. I have been coming here for 20 odd yrs and love going for walks in the unspoilt nature. Taking a walk to the Med beach which is never busy. Not a bar/ kiosk in sight and all you can hear are waves breaking.
Many migrating birds fly over as well so plenty of different birds you don't normally see can be seen.
Great for practising triathlon.
It's pretty quiet in the evenings so it's a great place for families w young children.
The therapeutic clay is beneficial for EVERYONE. It's contains many minerals/trace elements which when applied, is absorbed and makes miracles to skin, joints and gets rid of cellulite! Arthritis, reumatism, gout, acne, the list is endless to conditions the clay benefits.
The clay is the main reason for me returning at least once/year. I love it.
Come and try and see for yourself. GRATIS 👍..

I have spent 3 afternoons here over the past2 years with different members of the family they have all enjoyed the fun of getting caked in mud. At at the end of of it silky smooth skin....
Would highly recommend but do not forget to take a bucket to collect the mud.

Interesting free natural mud baths.
We visited in February so to cold to try, nobody else dipping in, looked fine well looked after, could do with some showers as I say you not allowed to wash off the mud in the opposite side where the clear water beach is

Lo normal es darte los barros y esperar a que se sequen y luego quitártelos, con eso es suficiente
