Two thousand years of thermal tradition
Request a Private IntroductionThermal waters have flowed here since the Romans. Caldas de Reis, on the Camino de Santiago, has been a place of healing, rest, and passage for two millennia.
Caldas de Reis sits astride the Río Umia, its thermal springs known since Roman times. The town is a stage on the Camino Portugués. Its healing waters and Umia valley setting attract those who prioritise quality of life.
Proximity to Pontevedra (20 minutes) and the coast (30 minutes to Sanxenxo) makes this a genuinely appealing base. The residential landscape blends traditional river houses, rural estates, and properties with private access to the thermal spring system.
