Today's spa hotel occupies several 19th Century buildings. From the main entrance and lobby (right), an underground passage (inset photo below) leads to modern, attractively-furnished guest wings built within historic structures such as the former Acqua de Mondariz bottling plants.

photoThe hotel, which is managed by Spain's Meliá group, has 146 air-conditioned rooms. I was quite comfortable in room 405, a twin-bedded room with a large, well-equipped bathroom and terrycloth robes for spa outings. (Disabled guests are well-served by the hotel, which has lifts, ramps, and special garage spaces for physically-challenged visitors.)

The Meliá Balneario Hotel has an excellent restaurant on the premises; guests can also sample restaurants and cafés in the village, which is a short walk from the hotel and spa.

For more information, visit www.balneariomondariz.com or e-mail reservas@balneariodemondariz.com.

Location

The Balneario de Mondariz is 25 km from Vigo Airport, 15 km from the Porriño railroad station, and 30 km by road from Tuy in Galicia. It's also within a manageable driving distance of Santiago de Compostela (110 km), A Coruña (160 km), and Porto, Portugal (150 km). 

photoI visited the spa during a leisurely journey from Porto to Santiago de Compostela (see inset photo), and I can recommend the Balneario de Mondariz as a pleasant overnight stopover (or two-night stopover, if you take time to enjoy the spa).

For a map with road directions in Spanish, see the spa's How to Arrive page.
