Busot Water Preventorium

The Balneario de Aguas de Busot is an architectural complex built in the nineteenth century in the municipality of Aigües, province of Alicante. Originally designed, projected and titled as "Hotel Miramar Winter Station", by its owner and promoter, Mr. Conde de Casa Rojas, was conceived as an urban complex of large dimensions, located in front of the old thermal springs that always existed in the area, presided over by the central building corresponding to the hotel, and surrounded by numerous buildings and roads that crossed the adjacent places, including, among other services, two Catholic chapels, a navigable swimming pool, a bakery, a farm, multiple benches, roundabouts and other elements, most of which were erased in the twentieth century. The nineteenth-century hotel activity met a visit from His Majesty the Kings of Spain, and was disseminated among potential customers through annual memorials that Mr. Conde commissioned to write to the various medical directors that the Hotel had. The Civil War interrupted hotel activity; and at the end of it, an attempt was made to promote a children's tuberculosis sanatorium in the same facilities.
It is located 1 km from the town of Aigües. To reach it you have to go to the Baños de Busot, an area adjacent to the thermal aquifer of Cabezón de Oro, also called Sierra de Hombre.
