José Grimaldo. It was inaugurated in 1858 and was fed by the waters of the underground lagoon of the Plaza Mayor. It enjoyed great popularity at the time and by 1870 32,000 bathers had passed through the baths. The spa occupied a large part of Hileras and Bordadores streets (between Arenal and Mayor streets) and had marble bathtubs and others made of tinned zinc, very suitable for winter; simple steam baths and the so-called Russian system; showers, from the most energetic and powerful to the softest ablutions; piles for artificial and sea baths; In addition to atmospheric and spray devices. The copy appears to be the signature book of the establishment.
