- A date at a market... Why not?
Sure, the market isn’t the most popular place for dates. But it has a lot of advantages.

And at flea markets you might find something lovely that will become a keepsake from your date. Imagine how interesting it’ll be for your grandchildren to hear this story one day!

The noise and constant bustle of the city will feel far away. It’ll just be you and your other half, and total relaxation. Treat your partner to an immersion in the world of relaxation at AIRE Baños Antiguos. The uniqueness of this place lies not only in the professionalism of the massage therapists, but also in its location. The complex is set in an old warehouse from the late XVIII century. An unforgettable experience for both of you is guaranteed!
