Two nights ago, in Córdoba, we went to a Hammam.

We (Ima, Alexandra, our friend Andi, and I) each got a massage that came with a one hour use of the facilities. There were cold, warm, and hot pools/tubs, plus a steam room.

It is supposed to be good for you to go into different temperature pools, for example, going from hot to cold and vice verse.

My favorite was going in the cold tub for a minute or two and then staying in the hot tub for a while.

The Hammam also served a tea. It was a delicious sweet mint tea. Most liquids would not be improved with either chocolate or garlic, and this tea was not an exception.

I loved the Hammam and look forward to my next massage.
