As summer brings an influx of visitors to the Baños de la Hedionda in Casares, the historic Roman natural baths in Casares, the local council has introduced a free reservation system to manage access during peak daytime hours.
This measure aims to limit the number of people who enter the iconic dome structure and preserve its architectural and historic value.
It is said that Santiago was expelled from the waters of this lake and that the devil breathed his last breath here. The popular imagination uses this legend to explain the sulphur smell from the water. Known as Baños de la Hedionda, the baths constitute one of the historical landmarks of the Utrera massif and, in general, of all Casares.
Since Roman times, man has enjoyed the benefits of these Ferruginous Sulphurous Baths. Julius Caesar is said to have bathed in these waters for his war injuries. The enclosure of the spa is right on the banks of the Albarrán stream and very close to the border with the municipality of Manilva.
