Towns and Villages

Previously known as the Póvoa (hamlet) of Monte Real, this town developed considerably during the 20th century, due to the increasing demand for the acknowledged therapeutic qualities of its waters.

The hot springs, within the Pinhal (pine forest) of Leiria, in a region with several attractions, such as the beaches, the towns of Leiria and Marinha Grande and the Monasteries of Batalha and Alcobaça (classified as World Heritage sites), are the ideal resort for those intending to combine a period of curing and rest with leisure and cultural tourism.
