The end of the Miño thermal promenade: free pools at Outariz and Burga de Canedo and paid baths with two circuits, €6.95 for two hours.

What it is
Outariz is the end of the Miño thermal promenade, about 6 km from the centre of Ourense, on the right bank of the river. Here three areas come together a few metres apart: the Outariz public pools, the Burga de Canedo, also free, and the Outariz Baths (Termas Outariz), a paid facility with two circuits, the Celtic and the Zen. A pedestrian footbridge crosses the Miño next to the Burga de Canedo and leaves you at the car park on the opposite bank.
Status in November 2026
According to the Concello's thermal baths status page, updated on 1 November 2026:

Outariz Baths (paid): open.
Burga de Canedo (free): partly open, every day from 10:00 to 19:00. The page doesn't say which pools are working.
Outariz pools (free): temporarily closed.

Opening hours may change, and the areas by the river close in bad weather or when the Miño rises. Check that page on the day.
The free pools
The Outariz ones are three hot-water open-air pools and one cold-water pool, with washbasins, changing rooms with lockers, outdoor showers and fountains. The water rises through cracks in the granite at about 60 °C; it is sodium bicarbonate, fluoridated and sulphurous. The Burga de Canedo, about 100 m further on, has another three pools. Access is free, with limited capacity and a maximum stay of 90 minutes. Bring swimwear, flip-flops, a towel and a padlock for the locker.
Children under 10 are not admitted, and those from 10 to 14 must be with an adult.
The Outariz Baths, paid

Price: €6.95 per person for a 2-hour open admission, changing time included.
November 2026 opening hours: Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 10:00 to 23:00; Friday 10:00 to 1:00; Saturdays 9:00 to 1:00; Sundays 9:00 to 23:00. Closed on Tuesdays. You must be out of the water half an hour before closing.
Reservations: not possible. You go in on a first-come basis and, if it fills up, a waiting list is opened.
Age: from 5 years; for ages 5 to 8 you must prove the age with an ID card or family book. Children under 1.50 m cannot use the Celtic Spa area.
Towel and bathrobe: they hire them out, but warn there are not always any because of demand. Bring your own.
Other services: relaxation and beauty treatments by reservation, a café and a family Onsen.

By card you pay from €10 at reception and the café; for a single admission, bring cash.
Getting there and parking
The thermal area is pedestrianised. Park in the free Outariz/Reza car park, on the opposite bank, and cross the footbridge: it is about 750 m to the pools. In your GPS search for "aparcamiento Outariz/Reza", as the Concello recommends, because the thermal area is pedestrianised. The Muíño da Veiga car park, off the N-120, is cut off.
By bus, urban line 5 stops at the Outariz/Reza car park. On foot, the Miño promenade is about 4 km from A Chavasqueira, passing the Muíño da Veiga. The thermal tourist train is not running in November 2026.
Rules and health
Use is recreational. The Concello advises consulting a doctor beforehand and advises against it in pregnancy, after an operation or serious illness, with blood pressure or heart problems, venous insufficiency or open wounds. Don't spend more than 30 minutes at a stretch in the water and drink when you get out. Animals, swimming and jumping are not allowed.
When to go
If the paid ones fill up, a waiting list is opened: arrive with time to spare at weekends. At night, with steam over the water and the river in darkness, it is a different experience: they open until 1:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Avoid Tuesdays, when they are closed.
