Balneario de Zuazo is a distinguished thermal spa near Murguía in the Zigoitia Valley of Álava Province in the Basque Country of northern Spain, drawing from one of the few sulfated mineral springs in this predominantly Atlantic region. The sulfated mineral waters are deeply rooted in the local balneology tradition and have served the Basque Country's rural communities as a place of restorative bathing for over a century. The surrounding Álava plains and the quiet Basque agricultural landscape of small farms, oak woodlands, and ancient stone farmhouses known as caseríos provide a characteristically Basque backdrop for this historically significant thermal establishment.

Insider tip — Balneario de Zuazo sits near Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Alava plain, tapping sulfate-bicarbonate waters in a handsome 19th-century neoclassical building that speaks to the golden age of Basque spa culture. The proximity to Vitoria, European Green Capital in 2012, allows you to combine a restorative soak with visits to the city's exceptional parks and medieval old town.
