Thermas de Cuntis is one of Galicia's most celebrated and abundant thermal spring destinations, located in the municipality of Cuntis in the province of Pontevedra in southwestern Galicia, where the ancient granite basement of the Iberian Massif produces thermal springs at temperatures reaching nearly 60°C — among the hottest in Spain. The sulfurous mineral waters of Cuntis have been used for bathing since the Roman period and are part of a long thermal tradition, with both a heritage of formal cures and popular bathing that reflects Galicia's deep relationship with its exceptional thermal resources. The surrounding countryside of rolling green hills, eucalyptus forests, and the typical Galician landscape of granitic hórreos and stone-walled fields provides a distinctly northwestern Iberian setting for the thermal experience. Thermas de Cuntis represents one of Galicia's finest and most genuine expressions of its extraordinarily rich thermal heritage, offering powerful and authentic mineral waters in a landscape of quintessential Galician beauty.

Insider tip — Cuntis is one of Galicia's most potent thermal towns, with waters emerging near boiling point from granitic bedrock in the lush green interior of Pontevedra province. The sulfurous warmth has attracted pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago for centuries. Steam visibly rises from the natural seeps along the town's central promenade even on mild afternoons.
