Termas de Caldelas

Termas de Caldelas is a historic mineral spa resort in the Caldelas hamlet of Amares municipality in the Cávado River valley of Braga District, set in the lush green landscape of the Minho region just south of the Peneda-Gerês National Park. The bicarbonate and carbonic-rich mineral waters have been part of a long thermal tradition since the 18th century, valued as a setting for relaxation and well-being. The spa resort's park setting, with century-old trees lining the promenade between the thermal pavilions and the river, creates one of northern Portugal's most elegant and tranquil thermal environments. Caldelas' proximity to the Bom Jesus do Monte sanctuary, Braga cathedral city, and the scenic beauty of the Cávado valley makes it an ideal base for combining traditional Portuguese thermal bathing with the rich religious and cultural heritage of the Minho region.
