Muíño da Veiga

Located practically in the bed of river Minho, it is a bathing area at the foot of a fully restored old wooden mill, from which it takes its name (muíño is Galician for “mill”). It is surrounded by a large green recreational area, which merges with the riparian vegetation of the site.

The bathing area is made up of five pools: a main pool of 200 m2, a second one of 130 m2 and two smaller ones of 55 and 45 m2, plus a pond of cold water for contrast baths. The water here is about 40 ° C.

There are changing rooms with lockers and toilets available for users. Admission is free, although there is limited capacity. To use these facilities, a bathing suit, flip flops and a towel are required, as well as a padlock if you would like to use the lockers.

The entire area is fed by several springs flowing at temperatures between 65 º and 72 ° C, some of the hottest in Spain. Muiño da Veiga’s waters are lightly mineralized, rich in alkalines, bicarbonate-sodium, fluoride and silicates.
