Hammam Al Ándalus opened its first Madrid centre in 2003 on Calle de Atocha in the historic centre near Plaza Mayor, reviving the Andalusian Arab baths under century-old vaults. Visitors move freely between baths at different temperatures, a steam room and hot and cold water contrast, with optional massage and a kessa scrub with black soap. Visits are 90-minute turns starting hourly from 10:00 to 22:00; the baths are mixed and swimwear is compulsory.
