Outariz Pools Car Park

The Outariz pools and the Burga de Canedo are on the right bank of the Miño, about 6 km downstream from the centre of Ourense, and have no car park of their own at the water's edge. You leave the car in the Outariz-Reza car park, on the other bank, and cross the river by a pedestrian footbridge. It is free and is the one the Concello indicates for Outariz, the Burga de Canedo and the Muíño da Veiga.

Getting there by car

You enter along the OU-402 road, in the direction of Cortegada. The Concello gives these coordinates for the satnav: 42.348291, -7.912312. From the car park you go down to the footbridge and cross the Miño; on the other side are the Burga de Canedo and, a few metres on, the public pools and the paid Outariz Baths. Allow about ten minutes' walk from the car to the water, with flip-flops and towel in your rucksack.

Beware of a common mistake: the Muíño da Veiga car park, next to the N-120, is listed as closed on the Concello's tourism website. If you are going to the Outariz area, go straight to the Outariz-Reza one. For the A Chavasqueira baths and the O Tinteiro fountain, closer to the centre, the recommended free car park is the Campo da Feria one, accessed from Rúa Ribeiriño.

Without a car: city bus

Line 5 of Urbanos de Ourense, the Ceboliño-Reza one, stops at this same car park, so the walk from the bus is the same as from the car: footbridge and across to the other side. In the centre you catch it at the Parque de San Lázaro, on Rúa Xoán XXIII. Timetables change on Sundays and public holidays; check them on the Urbanos de Ourense website or on +34 988 510 672. The thermal tourist train is listed on the municipal website as temporarily out of service, so don't count on it.

Before you go

The free pools close in bad weather, for works or when the river rises, and in autumn 2026 the Outariz ones were temporarily closed while the Burga de Canedo was partly open. Check the Concello's thermal baths status page on the same day, or ask at the tourist office; in the Outariz listing you have the details of each area, the minimum age and the prices of the paid baths.

The same car park serves the free pools, the Burga de Canedo and the paid baths, so on busy days it is best to arrive early. Don't leave items in view in the car and bring a padlock for the changing-room locker.
