Sulphur-rich thermal springs in the Galician interior. Waters emerge between 42 and 74°C. In continuous use since Roman occupation.
Cuntis is a small Galician town whose entire economy has historically been built around its thermal springs. The water here rises at temperatures between 42 and 74°C, which is unusually hot for a naturally occurring spring: the difference between a warm sulphur bath and something that has to be cooled before entry. Roman engineers built the first formal infrastructure; the present thermal establishments descend from that origin without interruption.
The springs are classified as sulphurous-bicarbonated-fluoridated, which puts them in a particular category of European medicinal water. Cuntis is not a tourist resort built around a spa concept. It is a working balneario town where the springs are used for what they were always used for: heat, mineral contact, and the kind of slow immersion that requires no programming and no schedule.
