Balneario de Caldas de Bohí

Balneario de Caldas de Bohí is a high-altitude thermal spa in the village of Barruera in the Boí valley of the Lleida Pyrenees in Catalonia, situated at the gateway to one of Spain's most extraordinary concentrations of cultural and natural heritage where UNESCO World Heritage Romanesque churches built by Lombard master masons in the 11th and 12th centuries dot the valley villages with exquisite examples of early medieval religious architecture whose bell towers, carved portals, and Byzantine-influenced frescoes represent one of the finest surviving ensembles of Romanesque art in Europe. The valley also encompasses the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, Catalonia's only national park, where granite peaks, glacial lakes, and twisted pines create an alpine landscape of spectacular beauty recognized as one of the Pyrenees' most pristine wilderness environments. The natural thermal spring waters of Caldas de Bohí emerge at moderate temperatures from the granitic geology of the high valley, offering therapeutic bathing in a setting of almost overwhelming combined cultural and natural magnificence that makes this one of the most privileged thermal spa destinations in the entire Pyrenean range.
