fish-spa-barcelona

Relax with an exclusive ictiotherapy treatment performing by Garra Rufa fish brought from Turkey in Ruffo Fish Spa in Barcelona. A nice place located in Street Correu Vell just in  the heart of the city. They offer you dip your feet in a warm pool where the GARRA RUFA fish will exfoliate it in a natural, exotic and fun way.

This  fish pedicure, involves patrons dipping your feet in a tub of water filled with small fish called Garra rufa. Garra rufa are sometimes referred to as “doctor fish” because they eat away dead skin found on peoples’ feet, leaving newer skin exposed.
 

What is ictiotherapy?

The ictiotherapy is carried out with the help of small Garra Rufa fish originating in Turkey.

These small fish have no teeth, have a small cup as a mouth that sucks the impurities stay in the skin and the remains of dead skin. The result is an exfoliating treatment, a good massage helps improve circulation, relax and moisturize deeply.

Result: You will feel your feet cool and healthy and can enjoy the touch! The sensation is a great break after a treatment like a massage in one of the most sensitive body parts, the Garra Rufa can stimulate acupuncture points to help regulate the nervous system, relaxing the body and relieves fatigue. The blood circulation and the flow is increased significantly during this treatment.

Garra Rufa fish, a species belonging to the family of the Cyprinidae, a native of Turkey and has been used for more than two centuries and known worldwide for its curative properties and beauty.

Garra Rufa fish is a tropical fish, freshwater, living mainly in warm waters. Small,measuring between 4 and 6 cm. and can grow for 9 to 12 cm as adults.

This amazing fish has many virtues that have made him famous, but the best known is the natural way to exfoliate the skin. This behavior is part of the natural instinct of the Garra Rufa fish and is extremely pleasant and relaxing: Garra Rufafish gently suctioned dead cells of the outer layer of skin without touching the inner layers.

In this process, the fish generates an enzyme called ditranolque has a regenerating effect on the skin.

Here is a nice video where you will see how it works!

"What a beautiful Apt! Spacious for our family, clean, well equipped, quiet, comfy beds, and perfectly located – train station, shops & restaurants, Gaudi museums and central plaza few blocks away. Check-in was smooth, and we were off to la boqueria. We cooked our breakfast and used washer/dryer – all in working order. Kids loved the old-fashioned lift & keys. Such a charming apt! Reserve with confidence."

"I thought the service provided by Habitat was excellent and prompt. Julia, our booking agent, was very helpful with sightseeing, restaurant and nightlife suggestions. We followed much of her advice and had an amazing time. Also, when we reported a broken hair dryer we received a new one just later that day. It was really nice to know that they cared about the comfort of our stay. The place itself was very nice and comfortable. Good location and modern decor and amenities. The shower could use some maintenance."

"Our stay at Rambla Deluxe a was simply perfect. We are a family of four and we appreciate the extra space of an apartment compared to the hotel room experience. We stayed in Barcelona for one week and were able to spend time visiting places and then come back to rest (and for the children to play) in different moments of the day. The location is in an elegant area, well connected to everything there is to see and do. There is some road noise from the street below in the night, but the bedrooms are in the internal part of the apartment, so the disturbance is minimal. The apartment is well furnished and spotless, just like in the website photographs. We would warmly recommend it for a stay in Barcelona."

"Loved our stay at the Via apartment. It's in a great location 15 to 20 minutes walk from La Rambla and the gothic quarter and even less to a number of great places to eat. The apartment is really well equiped and comfortable and I can't recommend it highly enough. Also thanks to Habitat Apartments for allowing us to leave our luggage in the apartment until the afternoon of our flight…that was really appreciated."

"Thyssen was excellent for our family of 4 (kids are 10 & 12). It is modern, clean, functional, and perfectly located – in the back of Westin Palace, on a quite street, next to museums and restaurants. We have not cooked or washed clothes, but appliances look new. Apt has a fast internet and Apple TV (!). Samuel waited for us at noon (check-in time), and graciously agreed to let us check out late. Wish we could stay longer in Madrid and would come back to this apartment in a heartbeat!"
