The baths were rediscovered in 1716, although Roman remains were found here. The former spa was demolished and modern facilities were built to meet today's demands. It is located in Carballo, capital of the Bergantiños region, and is close to a variety of excellent beaches and routes that are certainly of interest to tourists; the Verdes Nature Reserve is especially worth a visit.

Carballo thermal water is classified as mineral medicinal water, sodium bicarbonate sulfurate and weak mineralization. Appears at 42ºC. It was recognized as one of the best in Europe by the Paris Water Court in the late 19th century and was declared for public use in 1928.
Spa water is high in sulfur, sodium and bicarbonate, although there are other important components to a lesser extent, such as chlorine, fluorine, etc. Water is colorless and transparent, but it can largely turn greenish. Due to its high sulfur content, it smells like "rotten eggs".
