The Baños de Vilo are located next to the Arroyo de Guaro, about 3.5 kilometers from the city of Periana, in the Axarquia region of Málaga. One of the most unknown places in this province, but with a very, very beautiful setting.
There is a pool with healing water (9 meters in diameter and 1.3 meters deep). This body of water was already known in Muslim times, with a spring that fills the pool and a bench to put clothes on if necessary.
Admission to the Vilo-Bad is completely free of charge and possible without prior registration. There is no timetable, but it is recommended to respect the quiet times of the neighbors.
Should you arrive at the Poza de Vilo when it is closed, the gate can be opened without any problems as there is no key.
The water has medicinal properties. It is calcium water containing nitrogen, hydrogen sulphide and magnesium, which is produced at 21ºC and is particularly suitable for the treatment of skin diseases. It smells slightly like rotten eggs due to the sulfur.
Its smell gives this place its essence and after a bath in these sulphurous waters, the skin is soft and hydrated.
