Visit to the Fish Space in Paguera

Getting to the end of the summer and having to face, what here on our island we call 'Mallorca Feet', my friend Olli and I took a trip to the Paguera Fish Spa.
Lots of barefoot walking, slingback shoes, sandals and flip flops have trashed everyone's  heals and we have  feet that stick to the mosquito net at night.
Having girly time, sitting together, feet in water, chatting while small fish are nibbling away at your feet  is a novle new way to spend Friday evening.
Greg the owner of the Paguera Fish Spa ia at hand with friendly information about his small, busy and endlessly enthusiastic work force.' They don't actually eat the dead skin of your feet but kind of sand it off with their snouts. It's their re-creations ', he tells us,' This is like they would while the day on a coral reef.' Olli and I are of course delighted to hear that the fish are  having a nice time too.
Feet have to be washed before being allowed into the fish tanks

The loveliest feeling in the word

Fantastically relaxing
Greg feeds them at the end of their working day and changes their water a number of times a day and finishes each day by hoovering out the bottom of the tank to remove dead skin.
And 'YES' he has had some pregnancies and a few new arrivals among his fish.
Prior to our own appointment Greg had a birthday surprise group. Cake,champagne and feet in the tank, lots of happy laughter - a most unusual birthday party.
The verdict on our feet after 15 minutes in the tank? Very, very soft and amazingly clean. THANK YOU to Greg and his team we had a lovely time!
