Ourense is one of Spain's most thermally remarkable cities, where calcium- and magnesium-rich hot springs at temperatures between 40-70°C emerge directly within the urban fabric — in riverside parks, beneath city bridges, and along the banks of the Miño River — making it the only Spanish city with multiple freely accessible hot springs in its centre. The As Burgas springs in the town square, used since Roman times, and the Outariz and Muíño da Veiga riverside thermal areas offer bathing in natural hot spring water that is free to all visitors. Ourense, capital of Galicia's interior, combines its extraordinary thermal heritage with a vibrant Galician culinary culture, the historic quarter's Romanesque cathedral, and proximity to the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route.

Insider tip — Enjoy the thermal baths early in the morning or late in the day to avoid the crowds.
