Ourense is known as the "spa capital"
Ourense is known as the "spa capital" because of multiple hot springs on the outskirts of the city. The easiest way to reach them is by the Spa Train, which is far from being a typical tourist train, is a more like urban transport (the L19). The train has 3 carriages half open, interior sky seating, and so hot! I wanted it more than once to reach the last stop because it was really overwhelming (it was August and the ambient temperature was 36 º). The train leaves from Plaza Mayor (across from City Hall) on the hour 10 to 13, and from 16 to 20 (summer), but it also has at stops San Lazaro Park (opposite the office of Government) and at the beginning of the Roman Bridge.
The tour has been dubbed "thermal route" and lasts about 40 minutes, making 3 stops at the Baths of Chavasqueira, Muiño Veigas and finally the Outariz. There it rests until the next time point, when it undertakes the reverse route. The price of each trip is 0.75 €. The hot springs can really only be reached by this train as the walk is 8 km. If you want to drive to the hot springs take another route through the city and leave across the river, there is a parking lot in front of Outariz gateway, walk the rest of the way (one long way).
