It is with profound sadness that we have received the announcement of Nicasio Perez Menzel's death.

With him we lose a dear friend and a strong defender for many years of the interests of spa resorts in Spain and in Europe.

Until his very last days, he has been for all of us at ESPA an example of courage and optimism in these long months of illness.

The European Spas Association will keep the memory of a remarkable President, Vice-President and ambassador of balneology in Brussels and our member associations who acted as a respected and successful moderator in all situations.

We are in thoughts with you and your family members and we share your grief.

We will always commemorate Nicasio Perez Menzel as a reliable friend and a man of great courage.

Dr. Sigrun Lang
President of ESPA
