El Hammam
A most welcome spot in Málaga is the El Hammam, a perfect place to sit back and sweat it out amid the steamy semidarkness to the sound of soothing music. Unlike some Arabic baths in Andalucía, there are no pools to bathe in here, only the steam rooms. Specialist massages, including Ayurvedic and aromatherapy treatments, are by appointment only.
