Today we went to the Lo Pagan mineral lake. It is a large lake separated from the Mar Menor sea by a long wooden jetty. The lake has mineral mud on it's bottom. It is famous for it's healing properties for skin complaints and arthritis.
Everyone wears normal swimming cozzies.
The water is fairly warm but as you get deeper the water at the bottom gets warmer from the minerals. Take handfuls of mud and slap it all over and then let it dry. Be warned it is quite smelly! Then, go back into the water and wash it all off. The result... soft skin. Initially my skin felt quite dry and tight but after a shower at home even the palms of my hands felt soft. It's free too!
How to get there:
Take the N332 or AP7 to San Pedro del Pinatar. Lo Pagan is sign posted from the roundabout on which is a boat. Follow the sign towards the sea and at the windmill you will see the long jetty and a sign 'Banos de Lodo'. On the left hand side of the jetty there are platforms with steps down into the water. This is where you should head for. On the right hand side you have the Mar Menor sea.
