While we wait for the next long weekend—not until September 2026—there are always options for a weekend getaway. One of them is in Morelos: a spa with over five decades of history, famous for its crystal-clear waters that originate from springs linked to Popocatépetl.
El Almeal: Tradition and Spring Water in Cuautla
Morelos is a classic destination for those seeking sun, a pool, and relaxation without traveling too far. In Cuautla, you’ll find El Almeal, a communal spa inaugurated in 1974 during the administration of Luis Echeverría Álvarez, with public funding from that era.
Since then, it has remained a favorite thanks to its facilities and, above all, the quality of its waters: clean, clear, and refreshing—perfect for the heat, though cool enough for those who prefer milder temperatures.
What you’ll find at El Almeal
The resort combines natural areas with well-maintained recreational spaces. Among its main attractions are:
Freshwater spring
Running water pool
Pool with water slide
