porto

The Porto and Northern Portugal is particularly rich in spas, with waters that spring from the earth, sometimes at high temperature, and whose therapeutic effects are well recognized.

In some cases, their benefits have been known since antiquity as the Baths of Caldelas, São Vicente, of Taipas or those of Chaves, which originally bore the name "Aquae Flaviae" in honor of the emperor Roman Flávio Vespasian that there is 2000 years old, was already using these natural sources of well-being, with his legions. Other waters are known since the Middle Ages, such as Caldas da Saúde and Caldas de Aregos.

If programs spas today are still based on mineral and medicinal properties of the waters, it is true that they currently offer complementary programs for health and wellness for many purposes. Equipped with showers, baths, massages, and other modern techniques, you'll find sophisticated equipment, relaxation programs, revitalizing treatments, aesthetics and many more, short or long term, to rebalance the body and mind. With a pleasant all year round climate, they are places of rest and well-being that promote health and help to relax and improve the quality of life.

In addition, these units are all located in natural surroundings of great beauty and inspiration, which alone already encourage visitors to peace and quiet. Just mention the various existing spas in the green Minho region, particularly in the National Park Peneda-Geres, where flora and fauna invite you to get drunk on freshness and beauty. You can see wild horses and traditional customs that make you go back in time and experience nature
