Manancial da Burga is a naturally warm bicarbonated mineral spring associated with the famous Burga springs of Ourense in Galicia, Spain, where some of the hottest and most mineralised thermal waters in Europe emerge from the subsoil at temperatures exceeding 65 degrees Celsius. The Burga springs have been central to the thermal identity of Ourense since Roman times, when the city — then called Aquae Ourentis — was founded specifically in relation to its exceptional hot springs. The Manancial da Burga contributes to this extraordinary geothermal legacy, offering visitors a connection to one of the most historically significant thermal spring systems in the Iberian Peninsula.

Insider tip — Manancial da Burga is one of the iconic thermal springs of Ourense, a Galician city sitting atop dozens of hot springs that surge directly into the Miño and along the riverbank. This particular spring shows a modest temperature of 22°C, ideal for long summer baths. The Camino de Santiago passes through Ourense, and many pilgrims stop here to soothe their sore feet in the free thermal pools by the Miño before resuming their way to Santiago de Compostela.
