Preventorium of Aguas de Bussot, Alicante

The former Aguas de Busot Spa was built in the 19th century near Aigües, Alicante, Spain. The spa was originally called the Hotel Miramar Winter Station by owner, designer, and Spanish aristocrat Senor Conde de Casa Rojas. The complex was located directly opposite the thermal springs that date back to the Roman period. In the 19th century, the hotel operated as a treatment spa as well as a luxury hotel, featuring a casino and extensive hydrotherapy facilities, and earning a visit from the king and queen of Spain. During the Spanish Civil War, the hotel took on a new role. The building was converted into a sanatorium meant to cure tuberculosis in children.
