Lobios Aguas Termales is a thermal spring complex in the municipality of Lobios in the Baixa Limia comarca of Ourense province, Galicia, Spain, where sulfurous bicarbonated carbonated mineral waters emerge in the Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés Natural Park — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve shared with Portugal's Peneda-Gerês National Park across the international border. The springs lie within a geothermally active zone of southern Galicia where granitic basement rocks channel abundant mineral waters to the surface, and the natural park setting of oak woodland, heathland, and the Limia River valley gives the thermal experience an exceptionally wild and scenic character. Lobios is a gateway to one of the most biodiverse protected areas on the Iberian Peninsula, and its thermal waters add a wellness dimension to the exceptional natural heritage of this transboundary landscape.

Insider tip — Lobios Aguas Termales sits in the Baixa Limia valley of Galicia near the Portuguese border, where the granite bedrock of the Iberian Massif yields sulfurous-bicarbonate-carbonated springs. Waters emerge at around 38°C adjacent to the Gerês-Xurés transboundary park, one of Iberia's most biodiverse protected areas. The combination of wild river pools and modern bathing facilities makes Lobios a favourite for hikers on the Via Nova Roman road.
