The Caldes project celebrates the thermal and cultural heritage of Escaldes-Engordany with an artistic installation that's sure to surprise you. Let yourself be transported by an experience that fuses art, nature and technology.

A homage to water

The heart of the project is Placeta del Madriu, which is home to the sculptural fountain titled L'aigua i la Forma ("Water and Form") created by the sculptor Javier Balmaseda. This work, which is inspired by the aesthetics of the early 20th century, symbolises the wealth that the thermal waters have brought to the parish of Escaldes-Engordany. Visitors are taken on a sensory journey featuring overflowing baths, hot springs and interactive elements that connect them to the living history of this locale.

A unique night-time experience

At night, the Caldes project is transformed through the use of special lighting that guides visitors from Pont d'Engordany bridge to Pont de la Tosca bridge, creating a magical ambience where light and water dance in perfect harmony and their reflection is cast onto the surrounding structures. This extraordinary spectacle is a must-see, and has become one of the parish's leading night-time attractions.

A lasting legacy

With a focus on sustainability, the project is designed to be long-lasting while having minimal environmental impact. The installation boasts a smart-flow system that uses gravity to channel the water towards the river, thereby combining innovation with respect for the environment.

As well as beautifying its surroundings, the project serves to restore the spirit that characterised the historic town centre of Escaldes-Engordany in times past, transforming it into a first-class tourist attraction that is open to all.

Visit the Caldes project and enjoy an emotional experience that combines art, history and nature in an extraordinary way.
