SPA
Often referred to as the Pearl of the Ardennes, Spa is an attractive Belgian town in a wooded valley surrounded by undulating hills and countless rivers and springs.
De parel van de Ardennen wordt Spa ook wel genoemd. Het is gelegen in een bosrijke vallei omringd door heuvels en ontelbare riviertjes en bronnen
As the famed site of healing cold springs, Spa has been frequented as a watering-place since as early as the 14th century. Though other sources of healing mineral springs have become famous throughout the world, it is the town of Spa which has become eponymous with any place having a natural water source that is believed to possess special health-giving properties, as a spa.

Besides the obvious, there’s a lot to explore in Spa. The 18th-century Casino de Spa is the oldest in the world, and the most striking piece of architecture in town, even if you don’t go in to play.
