Just outside of San Miguel there are many balnearios, or spas built around natural springs. I visited one called 'La Gruta' which was about a 12 minute taxi drive from central San Miguel. There was a restaurant, lawns for picknicking or tanning, and three pools. Through one pool you could wade down a dark tunnel into a large dome-shaped cave and relax in the warmest waters and listen to water dripping from the stone ceiling.
