Ourense, Administrative province in Galicia, Spain.

The Ourense province encompasses 7,273 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in southeastern Galicia, featuring deep river valleys and extensive vineyards.

The province of Ourense developed from Roman settlements near thermal springs, later becoming a center of medieval religious architecture and wine production.

The four wine regions of Ourense - Ribeiro, Ribeira Sacra, Monterrei, and Valdeorras - maintain traditional winemaking methods passed through generations.

A network of highways connects the province with major cities, while thermal springs offer both therapeutic treatments and recreational activities throughout the year.

Ourense holds the distinction of being the only landlocked province in Galicia, containing numerous hot springs with water temperatures reaching 60 degrees Celsius.
