la gruta

About 15 minutes out of town there are hot springs, with several pools, the hottest of which is in a beautiful grotto inside a hill. The cave is the kind of place that, if I were a little more woo-woo, I could imagine having some kind of rebirthing or yogic experience. But I'm not, so it was just kind of solemn and womblike, being, fortunately, too early in the day for the tourist bus posses.
