Illa da Toxa, Spa island in O Grove, Spain

The 110-hectare island extends 2.17 kilometers in length and reaches 815 meters at its maximum width, connected to mainland by a bridge.

Originally used for cattle grazing, the island transformed after the 1800s discovery of therapeutic mud and medicinal waters, leading to thermal spa development.

The Chapel of San Caralampio and Virgin del Carmen stands covered in scallop shells, representing regional maritime traditions and religious heritage.

The island provides thermal centers, hotels, a casino, golf course, marina, conference center, and shopping facilities for visitors throughout the year.

Glass-bottom catamarans navigate around the island, allowing visitors to observe marine life and mussel farming activities in the Atlantic waters.
