This has a very good chance of being true. Moslems are required to bathe the entire body once a week (Friday before congregational prayers is suggested). Jews use a total immersion bath (mikvah) for ritual purity. Bathing in Inquisition Spain could have been hazardous to your health, as I believe is mentioned in A Drizzle of Honey.
