Requeixo Spa and water bottling

Description
environment
The spa is located near the town of Verin, in the province of Ourense. Indeed, Verin is characterized by the large number of springs and has high water quality characteristics that have made this area a suitable location for the establishment of resorts and activities to exploit their mineral waters medicinales.Una time we Located in the heart of the city, take the old road to Ourense and we turn to the town of Villaz. In this village we came upon a sign that informs us that the spa is Requeixo to 3.6 km. in that direction. This poster stands as a living relic of the past which indicates the great importance that had the spa and the influx of people attracted. In times when the term historical memory is so fashionable, that sign would last long and stay as if it were a monument, and to evoke identity Villaz municipality owns.

We take the address and leave the urban landscape to get into the bush Galicia, which, as we go through a few corners, let us delight in the natural right combination of deciduous trees and mimosas at that time, the inflorescences gold , were at the peak. Tours

km indicated by the cartel, a torrent of water and a road that juts to the left tell us we must take to reach our destination. Actually leads to the entrance of the spa and bottling.

The spa

When we talk about last resorts of Galicia we must conceive of them as resting places in which, for the medicinal properties of its waters, the health benefit was seen on two fronts, by a side the mind is relaxed through the privileged environment of the environment. The sound of the river water flowing through its channel Bubal and density of vegetation do we move to places very own Eden. On the other hand, their bicarbonate, sodium and emanation temperature of 20.5 º, made them conducive to the treatment of urinary disorders, digestive problems and liver.

Requeixo Spa


Nor can we separate the religious character of these places we found also spiritual tranquility. In this way, body, mind and soul were reassured of their ills. An image of the heart of Jesus very well preserved (and better respected) high in the spring and confirms what we said.

near the majestic building that was the spa is the bottling of medicinal mineral water bearing the name of the town Vilaza. Presumably, it employed many people in the region. So important was that to be a contest of posters of the same in 1916. Current status



covers both buildings appear to be collapsed decades ago. not know how long unused spa and bottling, but details are still preserved as colorful as 3 fountains, a stone staircase access to the river and the paved road trips as to allow renewal, from by a row of cypress trees. And all this despite the vicinity of an electrical generator that uses the power driven water to meet its purpose. While in the past you could hear the silence, now no longer join a nasty buzz from this power station recently established. It will be difficult to return the privileged status to this place as not only the noise creates feelings of uneasiness. Some posters in some trees tell us the dangers of staying there too long. Strikes me as a place designed for relaxation and forget your worries can now generate so much unrest.

More than 100 years ago, when nature was more abundant, our ancestors already considered this area as a leading and special highlight of all others. However, in these days of global warming and arson, which do nothing but undermine our natural areas, can not imagine this has not been observed so scarce. The dilemma of using a renewable resource but, among other things, noise pollution versus environmental conservation, is visible in this case that perhaps would have been able to choose another site, but would have meant more investment.

Moreover, the visit was heartwarming, at times we so intoxicated by succulent landscape and imagine for a few seconds as it was a busy day at the spa, guests feeling a petticoat. Of course, a drink of water from sources we soaked active ingredients and their healing powers, as well as gives us strength to continue our route.

After the visit and completely renovated, we have to satisfy our stomachs and we headed back to Verin to take towards the Portuguese border, where a special post da house (huge slice of beef with cheese on top and boiled potatoes) and a Super Bock beer in a restaurant ahead of Chaves, Portugal.
