Hi ash! What an amazing place!!! So happy we’ve visited it! Really. For us it was as marvelous as the casa Batllo , but in other ways. Thank you for the tips! Cheers.cbd vape
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for the nice comment, we are glad that you enjoyed the Spa.
Wishing you a great day.
Why do you state that massage isn’t allowed with a pacemaker? I have one and have regular massages, which is of absolutely no concern to my doctor. The only consideration is that they do not massage on or directly around the battery. If your masseurs can’t do this, that’s really poor service.nursing class essay helpers
