What is a Balnearium?

Balneariums, Thermal Mineral Spas or Thermal Baths are spas with thermal mineral springs that have been declared of benefit to the public, medical services and appropriate facilities for carrying out prescribed treatments.

Thermal baths facilitate the absorption of some of the mineralizing elements from the water by the skin and their subsequent integration by the various parts of the body.

Thermal waters are not just preventative; they also have curative properties. They are highly recommended for traumatological, rheumatic and respiratory complaints.

Bathing or taking a treatment using thermal mineral spring water infuses the body with mineral salts and provides a pleasant sense of relaxation and well-being that extends throughout the entire body, with a knock-on effect on the state of mind.

The Region?s hot springs produce water at a temperature of roughly 50º C.
