The springs are located in the middle of the city, very near the Plaza Mayor and the Cathedral. Water gushes out from three sources: “Burgas de Arriba”, “Burgas do Medio” and “Burgas de Abaixo”. Water temperature kis really high, between 64ºC and 68ºC.

Nobody knows for certain where these waters come from... some people think it comes from a spring situated under the cathedral, but others believe it comes from a subterranean volcano! In any case, “As Burgas” water is one of Ourense's most treasured resources; it is used for therapeutic purposes such as healing wounds and skin condition.

If you ever visit Ourense, As Burgas is a must-see!!
