Ourense is a destination to live it. The city of bridges will make you fall in love with its unique experiences: wearing a swimsuit all year round, eating octopus on Sundays, having tapas admiring the towers of the Cathedral, taking advantage of any opportunity to dress up... If you are looking for entertainment, Ourense is also the perfect place. An example of this are its festivals: Os Maios, Os Magostos or the famous Entroido. In addition, on the 7th and 17th of each month, a fair is held in the city.

Staying in a hotel in Ourense during its popular and particular 'Entroido' (Carnival)is a guarantee of fun and an opportunity to unleash your imagination when it comes to dressing up. 

Yes, it is always mandatory to wear a costume. It is mandatory to taste the typical product of these dates, the ears: sweet, made with eggs and flour; or pork, cooked and seasoned with salt and paprika. 

Carnival is a deeply rooted celebration with a long tradition in Ourense. The atmosphere of the city that floods the streets with color reflects the tribute to impudence and good humor that is intended to be done with this celebration. Is not sufficient? In the month of September a Summer Carnival is also celebrated. 

We insist on the costume. Otherwise, it is likely that those who are not in costume will end up paying rounds in any bar.

They say that the water originated the first settlement in this destination. For this reason, whoever enjoys a stay in Ourense should soak up (in every way) the history surrounding this element. 

The tour begins at the As Burgas hot springs, near the Barceló Ourense. From here, the visitor enters the green artery of the city: the banks of the river Miño. The Miño Thermal Route is a five kilometer pedestrian path that offers the opportunity to take a bath in the middle of nature, whether it is winter or summer. It is also a perfect path for walking, running or cycling. 

In A Chavasqueira, you can choose between a Japanese-inspired environment or a bath under the stars. O Tinteiro is a fountain-viewpoint very frequented by the residents of the city; while the Muíño da Veiga thermal area has four pools. Continuing the route you will reach the pools of Outariz, Burga de Canedo and the Reza spring. 

In short, an ideal place to enjoy enviable surroundings at any time of the year. A mandatory appointment during your Ourense holidays!
