Places of Interest Fascinating Spa

A tiny town with a population of a little over ten thousand, Spa has more appeal than many large cities.  The reputation of the tradition of thermal baths is such that its name is used as a common name throughout the world.  A must-visit for numerous famous visitors, a Formula 1 Grand Prix at the most beautiful track in the world, prestigious hotels, luxuriant natural surroundings, a subsoil immersed with water of an immeasurable quality, Spa is the place to be.
