The corner of Aragon where 'Olympo', Netflix's new 'Elite', was filmed.
Netflix has a new series for this summer: Olympo . The eight-part series tells the story of the CAR Pirineos , a performance center that houses Spain's top athletes. This is where Amaia (Clara Galle), the captain of the national artistic swimming team and a very demanding young woman who doesn't allow herself to make mistakes, finds herself. When Núria (María Romanillos) overcomes it for the first time, she realizes that some athletes are improving in an inexplicable way and the ambition of her teammates is leading them to take extreme risks . One of the most striking aspects is that it was filmed in a unique location in Spain, as has been done with other fictions .
Most of its episodes were filmed in a beautiful setting: the Aragonese Pyrenees . For a few weeks, the legendary Panticosa Spa has abandoned its thermal peace to become this famous Netflix high-performance center. This place is located at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters and is surrounded by mountains as high as 3,000 meters.
The waters of this spa have been renowned for years. They are characterized by their spring temperatures of over 50°C and are perfect for relaxation, but also for treating respiratory and rheumatic problems. There are two hotels here where visitors can stay. The most striking feature, however, are its thermal spas .
One of them is the Gran Hotel Thermal Space . Its facilities use water from the Tiberius Fountain . This space is decorated in dark-colored marble, giving it a unique and welcoming atmosphere. Treatments include thermal hydration, a vaporarium (to eliminate toxins), a Swedish cube, and post-mass rest.
On the other hand, there are the Tiberius Baths . It has a cabin area, a space where treatments designed for wellness and beauty are offered, with up to 26 cabins equipped with the latest technology. And the water area, with facilities such as an outdoor stargazing pool, a rest and relaxation area, a central whirlpool, a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath, and more.
And at the Balneario del Quiñón, where medical conditions are treated thanks to the mineral-medicinal and thermal properties of the water. They are especially dedicated to the recovery of patients who visit this place.
