Termas de Carballino is located in O Carballiño, the capital of the Comarca of Carballino in Ourense Province, Galicia, a town whose thermal springs were declared a Mineral Water Resort of Public Interest in 1902 and whose rich thermal heritage has made it one of the most important balneotherapy destinations in inland Galicia. The sulphated thermal waters rising from the Carballino springs are classified among the rarest and most therapeutically significant mineral waters in Spain — their unique chemical composition, containing sulphated bicarbonate and carbonic acid in specific proportions, makes them particularly effective for digestive, hepatic, and metabolic conditions. O Carballiño is also celebrated as the self-proclaimed 'World Capital of Octopus' (polbo á feira), and its annual Octopus Festival draws visitors from across Galicia, creating an extraordinary combination of gastronomic and thermal tourism that makes Carballino one of Spain's most characterfully Galician wellness destinations.

Insider tip — The sulfurous waters at 37°C of O Carballiño are renowned for soothing joint pain and skin conditions.
