Overgrown with algae and shells from the ocean it offers a different view to these important and protecting structures.

España - Málaga - Casares - Baños Romanos de la Hedionda
***
ENGLISH:
Its uniqueness as Sulphur Baths and the length of its use by man since historical times have come to enrich its role not only as a historical and scientific reality, but as a cultural element of the first order, which must have influenced the cultural heritage of the town since ancient times, and which also enjoys an ideal geographical location within the framework of a territory particularly rich in human activities since ancient times.
From the oldest geographical treaties that speak of the municipality of Casares, reference is made to the curative properties of the Hedionda spring and its location.
The historical importance is given by the spa area, initially Roman in its capture and adaptation to the use of the spring. Later remodeling, the result of the variation in the flow levels of the spring, caused the Arabs to retouch its structure and expand its walls and channels, brought to light in the last archaeological intervention at the beginning of 1990. In addition, from 2016, these baths have natural pools.
The complex of baths is completed with works from the 17th to the end of the 20th century, which are still partially preserved. Although the size of the remains found may seem to us to be little in keeping with the Roman magnificence of this type of construction, the studies carried out seem to confirm this Roman origin, although some alterations must have occurred to the primitive structure.
To avoid overcrowding, the Casares Town Council has implemented a series of measures, including limiting the capacity of the premises to 24 people, so it is necessary to make a reservation to access it during peak hours, established from 12:00 to 19:00 hours from July 2 to September 9. These reservations are free and for a period of one hour.

ESPAÑOL:
Su peculiaridad como Baños Sulfurosos y lo dilatado de su aprovechamiento por el hombre desde tiempos históricos han venido a enriquecer su papel no sólo como realidad histórica y científica, sino como elemento cultural de primer orden, que ha debido influir en el acerbo cultural del pueblo desde muy antiguo, y que goza además de una situación geográfica idónea en el marco de un territorio particularmente rico en actividades humanas desde la antigüedad.
Desde los más antiguos tratados geográficos en los que se habla del municipio de Casares se hace referencia a las propiedades curativas de la fuente de la Hedionda y su localización.
La importancia histórica viene dada por el recinto balneario, inicialmente romano en su captación y adaptación al uso de la fuente. Remodelaciones posteriores, fruto de la variación en los niveles de caudal del venero hace que los árabes retoquen su estructura y amplíen sus muros y canalizaciones, sacadas a la luz en la última intervención arqueológica en los inicios de 1990. Además, a partir del año 2016, estos baños cuentan con piscinas naturales.
El conjunto de los baños se completa con obras desde el XVII hasta fines del XX, aún conservadas en parte. Aunque la entidad de los restos encontrados, pudieran parecernos poco acordes con la magnificencia romana en este tipo de construcciones, los estudios realizados parecen confirmar este origen romano, si bien se deben haber producido algunas alteraciones de la primitiva estructura.
Para evitar la masificación, el Ayuntamiento de Casares ha puesto en marcha una serie de medidas entre las que destaca la limitación del aforo en el recinto a 24 personas, por lo que es necesario realizar una reserva para acceder al mismo en horas puntas, establecidas de 12.00 a 19.00 horas desde el 2 de julio al 9 de septiembre. Estas reservas son gratuitas y por un periodo de una hora.

i definitely need a more simple structure right now. my whole week will turn into a slow and gnawing scortched earth in no time. finals are next week, and i am considering locking myself in my room (to be over-exaggerated). i've acquired some new bad habits in the last 24 hours as well.
like my new book that i am now hooked onto for dear life: twilight. i havent been so....animated while reading since JK first wrote all those lovely HP's. And this ones different. I just melt, basically. I can be such a sappy romantic. People who are mysterious and endearing like Edward....I really wish existed in the world. My Bf should be careful, this book could be a terrible obsession =p.
You know, the funny thing is, i read it in the library today when i should have been studying for my last lab test for biology. nope. i just read. and the worst part, i was mostly smiling the entire time at a table full of people. i even tried to cover my mouth with my jacket to keep from looking like an idiot.
oooo dear. i will get through this though. and my life will be simple again, if only for a few days.
This odd concrete structure was once part of the silver processing mill in Silver City, Utah. It has now seen over 100 years of decay and graffiti and now appears quite mysterious.
