The ultimate rest day activity: soaking your tired body in natural hot springs, outdoors in nature, Spanish sunbeams warming your face, all for  free. The hot springs at Porto Quintelo are a local secret and you’re likely to find them empty.
The setting is stunning: a quiet woodland, a calm lake, the mountains of the xx National Park in the distance and a choice of several pools, whose piping hot water you can see flowing from the earth beneath you.
NB: watch out with the hot pool (the one with bubbles!) – it is really very hot! We estimate the temperature to be around 44 degrees Celsius, so bathing is equivalent to a sauna session… short bathes with cool breaks in between for the best effect.
