TOURISM & HEALTH IN GRAN CANARIA
|
 |
Health
tourism is one of the oldest forms of tourism known in the world.
The first tourists who came to Gran Canaria - around the second
half of the 19th century - belonged to the so-called health
tourism.
These were people who suffered from their lungs, stomachs and
nerves, having been attracted to the islands by the stories
of miracle cures that were circulating throughout Europe, and
even by the advice of the doctors themselves, who recommended
the climate and mineral waters of Gran Canaria. |
|
 |
 |
|
Today, a century
and some decades later, Gran Canaria maintains its prestige
as a health resort and a place to rest, having developed a wide
range of services and facilities for consultations and the treatment
of different disorders or just to pamper your body and relax
as an alternative to conventional tourism.
On the island, you can find spas whose waters are rich in minerals
and blended with sea water. They are ideal for rehabilitation
treatments, acute rheumatism, ulcerated lesions, skin and bone
disorders as well as fatigue and stress. |
| In these spas
you can find all kind of techniques and services ranging from
algae wrap, sea mud, hydrotherapy, salt bath, bandages with
aromatherapy, mud bath to thalassotherapy, thermotherapy, pressotherapy
or lymphatic drainage, reflexotherapy, chyromassage, specific
massages, vichy shower, turkish bath, jacuzzi, sauna, swimming
pool with jets, among many others. |

But Gran Canaria
is a destination for health tourism for more reasons than
just its specialised centres. The entire island is a paradise
where you can forget about stress, exhaustion, the need to
break away and all the ailments that are provoked by the daily
hustle and bustle.
All you need is a therapeutic walk on the golden sands of
the island's expansive beaches, or a swim in its warm and
crystal-clear waters, which is charged with iodine, sodium
and other elements that are beneficial for the body, or to
be oxygenated by some contact with nature, where you cannot
help but relax. |
