Balneario Larouco is a traditional thermal spa nestled in the municipality of Larouco in the Ourense province of Galicia, a region of northwestern Spain renowned for having the highest concentration of thermal springs in the Iberian Peninsula. The chloride-rich mineral waters are part of a long thermal tradition and associated with well-being and relaxation, reflecting the longstanding spa heritage of Ourense. The surrounding Galician landscape of misty valleys, ancient stone bridges, and lush Atlantic forest creates a deeply restorative setting for thermal bathing.
Insider tip — Situated in the Ourense province of Galicia, one of Spain's most thermally active regions, Balneario Larouco draws mineral-rich waters from granite-filtered springs along the Minho river valley. The surrounding forested hills create a tranquil microclimate ideal for post-treatment rest. Visit on weekday mornings to enjoy the pools nearly to yourself before day-trippers arrive.
