Termas de Monção sits on the Avenida das Caldas in the town of Monção, near the Minho River on the Spanish border. The water emerges hyperthermal, between 30ºC and 49.5ºC, and is classified as hypersaline, sulphurous, sodium-rich, lithium-bearing and fluoridated, with a pH of 7.4. It is traditionally indicated for skin conditions, musculoskeletal disorders and chronic respiratory ailments. The first bathhouse, Termas da Pedra, was built in 1801 after a local benefactor, António Silveira, donated funds in gratitude for improvements in his health from the waters.
