Get to know Ourense with your rental car

Welcome to Ourense, the city of the healthy waters, as its bridges, wells, pools, burgas and spas testify. This town will make you fall in love with its culture, architecture, fountains, streets and thermal baths. An ideal trip to learn, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Galician lands.

Ourense, with more than 100,000 inhabitants, is the most populated municipality in the interior of Galicia, only surpassed by Vigo and La Coruña. Its origin dates back to the Romans, who settled in this territory. Specifically, in the vicinity of As Burgas, the thermal springs.

It is believed that the name Ourense comes from Auriense, that is, "The city of gold". This metal made it one of the most important provinces of the Empire, until its stocks were exhausted.

The historical importance of the locality is undeniable since, due to the strategic situation of Ourense, this city became an important commercial center since the Middle Ages.

Nowadays, Ourense is a small city but that does not make it any less interesting. You can take advantage of your stay to taste its famous tapas and travel to other places in the province such as the Ribeira Sacra, the Pozas de Melón or the town of Allariz.

And if you want to immerse yourself in the typical festivities of the town, you can come and visit the Magosto Festival. On November 11, the day of St. Martin of Tours, we have an appointment.
