Vilas Del Turbón: Thermal Spa, Trails and Peaks

Vilas Del Turbón can be discovered through several specific points of interest: thermal spas, architecture, trails, peaks and festivals. When planning your trip, you can consider these topics separately and choose to focus on culture, nature or physical activity.

Thermal Spa and Architectural Heritage

The thermal spa in Vilas del Turbón was established in the 1930s. Its development also included bottling the water; the hotel opened in 1934. The water from the Virgen de la Peña spring at Balneario Vilas del Turbón was officially recognized as medicinal mineral water by an order of the Ministry of Industry dated 20 May 1958. It has an exceptionally low sodium content of less than 1 mg/l; bicarbonate and calcium are the predominant ions.

The Casa Garuz is also part of the area’s built heritage: its façade was reproduced at Poble Espanyol in Barcelona. Vilas del Turbón also comprises a group of hamlets with traditional vernacular architecture. Individual buildings and a group of hamlets offer different cultural perspectives, without requiring you to reduce the subject to a single attraction.

Trails and Hiking

The Sendero Ermita de San Antonio trail in Vilas del Turbón is designated as an introductory Nordic walking route and begins at Balneario Vilas del Turbón. The second stage of PR-HU 123 runs from Vilas del Turbón to Visalibons. The Ruta circular 11 Faldas del Turbón passes through Vilas del Turbón.

The three names offer different approaches to planning: an explicitly named form of exercise, a stage with starting and ending points, and a circular route. The trail-related topics can be clearly distinguished from the cultural and thermal topics, without prescribing a fixed itinerary. Those who want to combine different themes can arrange the focus of their trip in this order or the reverse.
