Verín Thermal is a sulfurous mineral spring destination in the municipality of Verín in the Monterrei valley of Ourense Province, Galicia, Spain, where the thermal and mineral water tradition is among the richest and most concentrated in the entire Iberian Peninsula. The Verín-Monterrei geothermal zone produces a remarkable variety of mineral waters — from cold, highly carbonated bicarbonate springs to warm sulfurous thermal waters — reflecting the geological richness of the Galician-Portuguese basement and the tectonic faulting of the Tâmega River valley. The valley is also home to the magnificent Monterrei Castle — one of Galicia's most impressive medieval fortifications — and the Monterrei Denominación de Origen wine area, producing distinctive wines from local varieties. Verín Thermal offers an authentic encounter with the most concentrated expression of Galician geothermal heritage, where powerful sulfurous spring waters emerge in a landscape of medieval castles, ancient monasteries, and flourishing viticulture.

Insider tip — Verin sits in the Monterrei valley of southeastern Galicia just a few kilometers from the Portuguese border, a region dotted with more than 200 mineral springs — one of the highest spring densities in the Iberian Peninsula. The thermal complex draws on centuries of spa tradition and is particularly popular for urological and digestive cures. The medieval castle of Monterrei overlooks the valley and is worth a short detour after your soak. Book treatments well in advance in July and August when Spanish domestic tourism peaks.
