It is very pure mineralwater. The Termas is situated in a marvellous walkingarea and not too far from the beaches. And some of those beaches are very quiet, even in the middle of Summer!
The Termas is in fact a little village on itself, and is situated on the edge of a vast valley, where rice is grown. Therefore, it is beautifully green in Spring and red-blond in Summer. The valley is surrounded by typically Portuguese little villages and eucalyptusforests, which spread their lovely scent all over the area.
