Termas das Águas Santas de Besteiros — 'Baths of the Holy Waters of Besteiros' — is a bicarbonated thermal spring spa in Portugal whose name combines the sacred quality attributed to healing mineral waters with the specific toponym of the Besteiros parish. Mineral springs described as 'holy' or 'sacred' in the Iberian tradition were often sites of pre-Christian veneration later incorporated into Catholic devotional practice, their curative powers attributed to divine intercession as well as natural mineral content. The establishment invites guests to partake in this long tradition of healing, offering naturally bicarbonated spring water in a setting charged with both natural and spiritual significance.
