Thermal waters, rivers and pools near Celanova
Water is one of the defining features of Ourense. From Celanova you can combine thermal bathing, riverside areas, reservoirs and natural pools with cultural visits in the same trip.
Why it is worth it
- Ourense is the clearest choice if thermal bathing is your priority.
- Ponte Freixo and other riverside areas are pleasant places to stop by the water.
- Towards the Xurés, rivers and natural pools sit in a more mountainous landscape.
How to fit it into your stay
In summer, heritage in the morning and time by the water in the afternoon is a particularly good combination.
For a relaxed stay, we recommend combining one main visit in the morning, time for lunch and a second stop in the afternoon. Casa Millo lets you return to central Celanova without changing accommodation and keep another day for exploring the wider area.
Nature without rushing
In inland Galicia, season and weather matter. The same route can feel completely different on a dry spring day, in summer heat or on a misty autumn morning. Build flexibility into the plan, wear suitable footwear and be ready to change the order of the day.
Celanova makes it easy to alternate nature and heritage: a morning walk or time by the water can finish with an afternoon in the old town, a relaxed dinner and none of the feeling that the whole day was spent in the car.

How to fit it into the trip
It is better not to try to see everything in one day. Choose one main visit, leave time for lunch and use Celanova as the point you leave from and return to. The result is a more enjoyable pace and a trip that feels less like a checklist.
