Oh! The Massages We Will Get!
So prior to my trip to San Miguel I began conversing with Susan McKinney, proprietress of Jasmine Day Spa in San Miguel, just a couple blocks from Bosque. An American expat and writer herself, I inquired if she would be willing to offer discount on spa services to the members of our program this summer. She was eager to do so, and as I believe in doing PROPER research Ladies and Gentleman, I took it upon myself to inspect her spa and their services. At the end of our whirlwind two day business trip I booked a massage and a facial at the spa. The spa is located on Calle Jesus, and you climb a flight of stairs to enter. The spa itself was quite pretty, though not the dark and dreamy brand of spa we might be used to here in the US. Susan was lovely, and she arranged for a member of her staff to give me the massage and facial. The massage room they took me too was very comfortable, and very light. I could just spy the spires of the parroquia from the window in the room. The therapists lack of English was a little awkward at first, but I really didn’t find it much of a hindrance. I don’t much like making small talk with strangers while I’m naked anyhow.
The massage was top notch, and she used just the right amount of pressure. I must say, and I have no trouble recommending her or the spa, and the total for my services came to just under $50 USD (and yes, I paid, no kickbaceks here ;). That’s for an hr facial and an hr massage. You can’t get either one for less than fifty most places int eh US, and certainly not in New Orleans….
I encourage you all to take advantage of the spa and relaxation services they offer here, as well as at the Hot Springs we will visit on our last excursion….
