The Roc del Metge (also called Font del Metge, 'the doctor's spring') is the natural thermal spring near Plaça dels Safarejos in Escaldes-Engordany that gives the town its name and its historic reason for being: Escaldes-Engordany is thought to be among the earliest-settled areas of Andorra, its development tied to this spring. The water emerges at roughly 68°C and is described as among the hottest and most sulfate-rich thermal waters in Europe. It is the shared source feeding the town's modern thermal facilities, including Caldea, Inuu and Piscina Termal Muntanya, and is also accessible directly via a network of about seven hiking trails of varying difficulty.
