Choose your kind of soak

Whether you're traveling with family, seeking a quiet retreat, or looking for mineral-rich waters, Spain has a spring for you.

Spain's 16 listings run from Galicia's free riverside hot pools to Andalusia's historic Arab baths. Ourense is the standout: a city where thermal water bubbles up in the middle of town and along the river, much of it free.

How to reach Spain's hot springs

Madrid for the centre; Santiago de Compostela for Galicia. Ourense is on the rail line from Santiago. Andalusia's Alhama de Granada pairs with a Granada trip; Catalonia's Caldes towns are commuter-rail from Barcelona.

Where Spain's springs cluster

  • Galicia (Ourense) β€” As Burgas in the old town and the free termas along the MiΓ±o river β€” the crown jewels.
  • Andalusia β€” Alhama de Granada's historic baths in a dramatic gorge setting.
  • Catalonia β€” Caldes de Montbui and Caldes de Malavella β€” Roman-founded spa towns.

Best time to visit

Spring and autumn for the outdoor river pools. Summer is hot in Andalusia but perfect in Galicia. Winter evenings at the riverside termas are magical.

Good to know

Ourense's riverside pools are free, open late, and beloved by locals β€” go on a weekday evening for the real atmosphere. The Arab baths of Andalusia are usually ticketed experiences; book the evening candlelit sessions.
