Termas do Gerês sits in a steep granite valley in Vila do Gerês, within the Peneda-Gerês National Park. Its bicarbonate-sodium, fluoride-bearing water is used for drinking cures and hydrotherapy in a compact 19th-century spa quarter.

Por que visitar

The village is the attraction as much as the water: arcaded spa buildings, wooded ravines and national-park trails leading straight out of town.
