General description
Next to the castle of Chaves is a statue of General Francisco da Silveira Pinto da Fonseca Teixeira, who founded this spa fifteen minutes walk from the village of Verín in 1815. This Portuguese gentleman, who fought during the Napoleonic wars, created a small drinking pavilion (which we can still see today), with a stone fountain, tile roof and iron trellis.
The Sousas spa shared ownership with the Balneario de Caldeliñas. The former dispensed treatments on a drinking basis while the latter was for baths. Both were active until the 1960s.
At present, only the bottling plant is still in operation, although the garden area and the buvette can also be visited.
Type of waters
The hypothermal waters of Sousas are weakly mineralized bicarbonate-sodium, lithium and fluoride from a spring known as the Verín or Sousas spring
They were widely used since Roman times. It would be, however, since its discovery in the eighteenth century when its fame increases, which will lead to the construction of the first fountain in the early nineteenth century. They were declared of public utility in 1859.
It would undergo several expansions and would be in operation until the 1960s.
Therapeutic indications: digestive, respiratory, hepatic or endocrinological.
