Aguas Termales La Hermida is a thermal spring site in the village of La Hermida in the Peñarrubia municipality of Cantabria, Spain, set within the spectacular La Hermida Gorge — the Desfiladero de La Hermida — a dramatic limestone canyon carved by the Deva River through the Picos de Europa foothills, where the towering rock walls channel the thermal waters alongside one of northern Spain's most awe-inspiring natural passages. The geothermal springs emerge from fractures in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic limestone and dolomite formations of the Cantabrian Mountains, and the thermal waters have been used by the inhabitants of the gorge villages for generations. La Hermida Gorge, a UNESCO-adjacent landscape at the gateway to the Picos de Europa National Park, gives the thermal bathing experience a setting of exceptional alpine drama in the lush green mountains of coastal Cantabria.
Insider tip — Aguas Termales La Hermida occupies the dramatic La Hermida gorge in the Picos de Europa foothills, Cantabria, where the Deva river has carved a narrow limestone canyon. Bicarbonate-rich springs emerge at around 38°C at the canyon floor, historically used by pilgrims on the coastal Camino de Santiago route. The towering grey limestone walls and the gorge's perpetual semi-shade create one of Spain's most atmospheric natural bathing settings.
