CHIPIONA, A SEA OF MEDICINAL PROPERTIES The power of seaweeds Seaweeds have a high content of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals (up to 30% of the volume). Compared with dairy products, seaweeds provide up to 10% more calcium and iron. In Eastern civilizations, the importance of seaweeds as food has been recognized and apart from being admired for their nutritional uses, they have also been recognized as being antibacterial, antiviral and may help prevent cancer. In addition to this, some types of seaweeds help reduce cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure and clogging of arteries by improving the metabolism of fat. Wrapping and bathing with seaweeds, considerably increases the healing and health of skin. THALASSOTHERAPY From ancient times, sea water and seaweeds have been known to have curative properties. There are references in ancient Egyptian scrolls to the power of climate and the use of clays of the Nile Delta. The ancient Greeks recommended using hot sea water in baths and in poultices as treatment for different pains. It was during the Roman Empire when sea water was at its most popular, used in a wide variety of ways and applications, that fell into disuse during the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance there was a renewed interest in the curative properties of sea water that forms the base of modern thalassotherapy: “a process of relaxation, resting and well-being” It is totally natural therapy that respects the human body. The treatment uses sea water, seaweed and climate. Sea water is collected more than a thousand meters form the shore and is purified using ultraviolet rays, sterilizing guaranties that it remains free of bacteria, when it is used in therapy. it is used 36 degrees, that allows salts and minerals contain in the water to be absorbed through the skin better. These salts are beneficial and necessary for good health and they are often lost during illness, and other complaints and through daily living. The waters around Chipiona are thankfully high in iodine which has many curative properties known for more than a hundred years. At the end of the 19th century, many specialists, among those, Doctor Tolosa Latour, looked around Spanish beaches and did a study trying to find suitable sites for the first sanatoriums in Spain. Regla Beach was preferred due to the quality of its water and air, because of the position of the town and the winds it receives. Golf The golf course Costa Ballena (Whale Coast) is 5 minutes away from Chipiona by car. It is a flat course with a competitive professional level but also suitable for beginners and players of all levels.

Health and tourism Spiritual and body treatments: shiatsu, reiki, minerals, magnetism The session that Manuela proposes should take 1 hour 15 minutes to relieve pains and tension at mental and physical level. The massage-treatments are done at Hostal Tranvía (one of the Hostalpionis guesthouses) Manuela Gonon is 43 years old and comes from France. She can speak Spanish and English and has an advanced level in Japanese and Portuguese. At the age of 31, after cancer being detected in one of her eyes, she started to learn and practise shiatsu. Four years later, after 12 years working in the media world (television, journalism, events organization, international relations) and lots of travelling around the world, Manuela decided to dedicate herself professionally to the study and practise of shiatsu. The following year, she left Paris and went to live in a small town Andalucía, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea: Chipiona. Later on she realized that she had a special gift on her hands that works as follows: "her hands get warm only on the exact place where the patient has a pain or an anxiety knot" In general this technique relieves the pain and also allows the practitioner to find painful places in the body and sort out any problem. Willing to control this magnetism gift to the full, Manuela tries to use it everyday and do her best with it. That’s why she uses reiki for her job as a therapist. She also works with stones and crystals which she considers to be " great tools and mates" "I recommend a minimum stay of 10 days to "charge batteries", improve your health and achieve a more balanced life" the right time to alternate treatments, sunbathing all year round, swimming ( from April to October) and make the most of iodine from the sea and air, by walking along the shore or in countryside" Manuela
