Lo Pagan - Mar Menor - Costa Calida - Spain

Lo Pagan on the Mar Menor (lesser sea) is best known for its therapeutic mud baths, the mud has been renowned from early times for its healing powers.

Due to the long hours of sunlight and the very high salt level in the waters a unique mud has been created in a section of the lake known as La Puntica - the mud contains high levels of potassium, calcium, magnesium, fluoride, sulfur and chlorine. The mud is recommended for many skin conditions including acne, abscesses, sores and ulcers, it also has a stimulating effect on wound healing.
