Termas de Carvalhelhos

Termas de Carvalhelhos is a spa facility in the Barroso mountains where natural springs flow from the earth at 800 meters elevation and fill bathing pools. The complex offers spaces where visitors can soak in and experience these mineral-enriched waters directly.

Traces of an ancient settlement with circular dwellings were discovered at this location, showing that people recognized the value of this place long before modern times. The continuous use of the springs across centuries suggests their importance to the region has remained constant.

The thermal waters hold special meaning for visitors who come to immerse themselves in natural healing traditions that have shaped local wellness practices over time. The springs draw people seeking relief and restoration through bathing in these mineral-rich waters.

A visit works best on warm, dry days when the grounds are fully accessible and comfortable for spending time in the pools. Come prepared with towels and swimwear, and allow time to soak and relax at your own pace.

The springs maintain a constant natural temperature throughout the year, creating stable conditions that visitors can count on regardless of season. This consistency in water quality and temperature sets the location apart from other thermal destinations.
