Living in Ourense

The thermal capital where quality of life and history meet

Ourense is the hidden jewel of inland Galicia, a city that flows to the rhythm of the Miño River and the steam of its thermal springs. Living here means enjoying life on a human scale, where almost everything is accessible on foot and the stress of a large metropolis feels like a distant memory. While it is the only Galician provincial capital without a coast, it more than compensates with an enviable Romanesque heritage, sublime inland cuisine, and the arrival of the high-speed train (AVE), which has connected the city to Madrid in just over two hours, transforming its economic dynamism.
