Saved my spa vacation with honest reviews. Entertaining too. 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Although I had been to Mexico several times, I never knew how many different types of spas the country has to offer. "Mexico" Mike has obviously been to every one of them. He showed me that "spa" means a lot of different things and choosing the right one takes more than just asking a travel agent. Thanks to his honest recommendations, I was able to choose a holistic spa instead of the beach resort that my travel agent recommended.

Mike does more than list spas. He tells you the good AND bad points of each one. He peppers his observations with a wry sense of humor and very personal anecdotes that make this an enjoyable read, even if you never leave your armchair.

Besides spas, he covers free hot springs for the adventurous. Although this is not my cup of tea, his stories about finding them had me in stiches!

While reading this book, I felt like Mike was there next to me, guiding my way.

Editorial Review:

'It is well known that Southern Texas possesses a greater variety of Mineral Waters than any other country on the globe' enthused a promotion for one of Texas' many watering spas of the nineteenth century. Though most are closed and nearly forgotten today, Texas spas and resorts once drew thousands of visitors from across the country, seeking healing of body and spirit in the rejuvenating mineral waters.This book offers the first comprehensive history of Texas' healing springs. Janet Valenza tracks the rise, popularity, and decline of the 'water cure' from the 1830s to the present day. She follows the development of major spas and resorts, such as Mineral Wells and Indian Hot Springs near El Paso, as well as of smaller, family-run springs. She also describes how mineral waters influenced patterns of settlement, transportation routes, commerce, and people's attitudes toward the land. Period photos and quotes from those seeking cures offer vivid glimpses into the daily life at the springs, which Valenza lists and describes county-by-county in the appendix. Janet Valenza holds a Ph.D. in geography from the University of Texas at Austin. Currently she teaches geography at Austin-area colleges and universities.
