Poça da Dona Beija, Hot spring complex in Povoação, Portugal.
The geothermal facility contains five separate pools with temperatures ranging from 28 to 39 degrees Celsius, surrounded by natural volcanic formations.
These mineral-rich waters have flowed from the volcanic depths of São Miguel Island since its formation, providing natural thermal baths for generations.
Local residents and visitors gather at these thermal pools throughout the year to experience the mineral-rich waters and Portuguese hospitality.
The facility remains open until 11 PM and provides rental lockers, changing rooms, and a gift shop, with entry prices at 6 euros for adults.
The iron content in the thermal waters creates an orange tint in the connecting stream and requires visitors to rinse immediately after bathing.
