You will be surprised to know that just behind this panel, on the floor, you have a thermal well, and that under the asphalt that is behind you is hidden another one. And so at various points around where you are.

The most important of them, known as To Burga, is located within the spa itself, due to its high temperature. Sobre he historically built several spas that have been superimposed over almost the last two hundred years. The current one you are seeing made of stone is the work of the architect Juan Argenti Navazas, who designed it in 1928 to replace it.tuiIt was a previous one made of wood and brick built in 1900. Let us imagine how this environment could have changed since 1841, when the old spa was more like a camp of scattered huts built with stone and wood and inside which there were holes dug as burials that were filled with water surpeople at a level higher than the sea. That was the image of the place from the middle to the end of the XNUMXth century.

On August 25, 1987, around nine o’clock at night, a severe fire in this building, apparently due to a short circuit. the fire reached grandes proportions and the traffic had to be cut at the entrance of the bridge that communicates the Illa da Toxa with the village of O Grove. Since then, the building never opened or remodeled again.
