Hundreds of retirees and pensioners over 60 years of age who have skin or respiratory problems, among others, have already tried the benefits of medicinal hot springs. Although the Institute of Seniors and Social Services has its own Thermalism Program Travel agencies like El Corte Inglés already offer ‘low cost’ alternatives that are quite affordable for seniors’ pockets.
You will only have to spend 120 euros to enjoy 4 days and 3 nights in Portugal, in the town of Fundao, in four-star accommodation. Of course, as long as you are 60 years old or older since this trip is within the well-known Youth+60 Program where there are interesting proposals such as a departure to New York or to the town of Peñíscola.
The stay is planned at the well-known Resort & Spa Alambique hotel, which is located on the outskirts of Fundao, one hour from the border with Spain and in the heart of the country. The price includes, as appears in the advertisement, accommodation with breakfast and three accesses to the spa circuit.
Of course, as happens on other trips organized by ECI, accommodation is in a double room and the marked amount is per person. Places are limited and the price states that it is ‘from’ so you must check carefully the availability of places and the final cost before making the reservation.
Three nights accommodation with breakfast included
Travelers who are interested in enjoying the neighboring country have a great option with this ‘low cost’ trip from El Corte Inglés that allows you to combine a short stay with access to the thermal circuit of the same accommodation. The price (from 120 euros) includes management fees as long as it is booked through the agency’s website or through the telephone sales area.
The price that appears on the page, therefore, does not include travel to the hotel, meals or dinners, which will be included separately. Those who want to stay in a single room, and not share it, will have to consult the new conditions and the corresponding price.
What dates can be reserved between October and December
The calendar that appears on the website includes stays from 120 euros for October 17, 21 and 24, November 2, 12, 18 and 30 and December 5, 10, 16 and 18, 2026. The reservation must be made through the El Corte Inglés travel website or by calling one of the telephone numbers that the chain makes available to the customer.
A town full of historical heritage
Fundao is a beautiful city located in Portugal, just an hour from the border with Spain. It stands out for its towns full of history and mountain landscapes since it is located between two mountain ranges (Estrela and Gardunha). For lovers of history and heritage, specialized portals such as ‘Visit Portugal’ recommend Castelo Novo, Janeiro de Cima y Barroca, Alcongosta and the Casa da Cereja or the Historic Center, where the Municipal Archaeological Museum is located.
