Aregos Thermal Spa
Located by the river Douro, Termas das Caldas de Aregos thermal spa was mentioned since the 12th century for the quality of its waters, and was considered in the middle of the 20th century as one of Portugal's best.

Its healing power made Queen Mafalda to build an inn there, in 1102, the first of several subsequent similar facilities.

Recently municipalized, the present Balneário Rainha Dona Mafalda features modern equipment allowing the dispensing of the most recent techniques in thermal prevention and cure, in several health and well-being programmes, followed by professional health staff specialized in hidrology.

The attractions of Termas das Caldas de Aregos are not limited to the waters' benefits and their applications, being also characterized by the environment in which the thermal spa is set, in a large natural lake of the Douro.
