Balneario de Loujo, in Tui, Galicia, draws thermal water at 38°C near the Portuguese border. Indoor pools, massage, and a sauna are available at this site in Pontevedra province.
Insider tip — The Balneario de Loujo lies in the lower Mino River valley of Galicia, close to the Portuguese border at Tui. The thermal waters emerge from Hercynian granite aquifers, characteristic of the geologically ancient Galician massif, and are used for rheumatic and respiratory treatments. The medieval cathedral of Tui crowns the opposite riverbank, and crossing the international bridge to Valenca do Minho for a morning visit adds a pleasantly bicultural dimension to a thermal stay.
