River Minho’s Thermal Route

The banks of river Minho constitute the great green artery of the city: several kilometres of lush vegetation for walking, running or cycling while admiring nature and the landscape. In its most western section, after the Millennium Bridge, we will find many springs of thermal water, many of them equipped for bathing … One of those things that you can not miss if you visit us.

The Minho Thermal Route is formed by a 4-kilometre footpath where there are up to 7 thermal facilities in which we can rest and relax while enjoying a bath in the middle of nature, be it winter or summer.

The route begins on the right bank of the river, in the thermal area of A Chavasqueira, the closest one to the city. Here you can choose between the Japanese-inspired atmosphere of the small thermal resort of A Chavasqueira or a bath underneath the stars in the outdoor pools with free access.

The path continues to O Tinteiro, a fountain-viewpoint very frequented by the citizens, and from there to the thermal area of Muíño da ​​Veiga with its four pools. A little further on, the Outariz Thermal Station offers beauty treatments, a sauna and two thermal circuits at very competitive prices. Just before the footbridge that crosses to the other shore we will find the pools of Outariz and Burga de Canedo, the largest thermal area in Ourense, as well as free. On the opposite bank, in Reza, the route continues along Nymphs’ Lanes, where we will see the last thermal space of this area, the source of Reza.
