Staff is friendly, but don't fool yourself, even if the price is on the low side, you won't have an amazing experience but only a good enough experience. Main pool has about 5 jets not working. The one where you seat and should have bubbles coming out of the chair only 3 out of 6 work. The showers near the sauna 2 are out of commission (only 1 works), and doesn't matter how much you press the hot water button - only cold comes out. The thermal water room is OK, but even the thermal water sprinkler system is a bit damaged (the T coupling gushes out water, so it's quite hot in that spot and then not so much water goes out to the very last sprinkler. Overall, water is good and if you are not put off by the rest you can enjoy it. We came with grandma and kids and it is as ok. It's a shame as the potential is here, but they are letting the equipments fail and run the place down to the ground. They could make a nice enough experience and be a calling card for the region... But meh 3/5 stars and I'm being a tiny bit generous

I love the sulphur steam room! It's a bit tired and old, with some things not working, but overall it's good value, and good staff.

A lot of facilities are out of service, saunas for example. But outdoor part is pretty much nice.

Cold water and non-functioning amenities in the expensive (15€ for one hour) thermal spa. Staff dismissive and could care less about the user experience.

this is relaxing and reasonably priced place to enjoy the (treated) hot spring waters of this famous areas. The place is a cross between a basic spa and a municipal swimming pool, it's seen better days, but it's comfortable, clean and the facilities that are open are relaxing,. it wasn't too busy, but booking online ( or by popping in and reserving) is recommended. The staff were very friendly and informative, and you'll need flip flops and a hair covering to use the pools. you can rent them for one euro, along with towels. The hot spring waters don't smell ( as they have been treated) but are a good hot temperature, the main pool having 15 different jets to enjoy, some very strong, for shoulders, back, thighs, arms, etc. Very relaxing to do the 'thermal circuit', around the pool, the building is a big glass atrium ( time your visit to sunset if you can, lovely light with the water) , there's a bubbling bath of steaming water with copper and steal beds to lay on as the waters do their magic to your aches and pains. .... towels thick, sauna not working but there was a discount in the ticket price, pleasant happy staff and easy parking. We have done a wide range of hot springs in this area and these spa type baths are worth a visit, a relaxing, fun few hours which leaves you feeling healthy, warm and your skin super soft. We walked home along the river bank walk, right outside the Spa, feeling great. The changing rooms could do with some renovation, but this is a service supplied by the local authority, and it's pretty good for the price you pay. well worth a visit, even if you're not that interested in hot springs or the properties of the thermal waters of this region.

Nice spa with massages and a nice pool.

If you're looking for a professional therapeutic massage don't go here because you'll pay 50€/hour of poor service/equipments. This is a good place to relax in the water circuit (12€/pax - weekdays) and that's it.

It´s a normal church of a small village of Portugal The interior is interesting, wiith the altar carved in wood During the feasts of "Nossa Senhora das Dores" (Our Lady of Sorrows) the church is very well decorated, as can be seen in the attached photograph

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church with baroque characteristics, highlighting the coffered ceiling in painted wood and a beautiful gilded altarpiece. (Original) Bella iglesia con características barrocas en la que destaca el techo artesonado en madera pintada y un bonito retablo de talla dorada.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful baroque church in the center of Monçao, worth highlighting is its altarpiece and its wooden ceiling painted in the shape of paintings. (Original) Bonita iglesia barroca en el centro de Monçao, a destacar su retablo y su techo de madera pintada a forma de cuadros.

(Translated by Google) The Santa Casa da Misericordia de Monção was in operation in the middle of the 16th century, since in 1561 the lazaretto of S. Gião was incorporated into it with all its assets and income. In 1690 the brothers decided to build a new headquarters, choosing the current location. The works began soon - the date of 1693 appears on the north cover - and progressed with the royal donation of 400 reales per year in 1696. The works were completed in the 18th century, in which reforms were made to the temple to, at the end of the century, build, semi-detached, the Casa do Consistorio. The sober baroque exterior is also seen inside, where the golden altarpiece of the main chapel stands out, presided over by the Virgin of Mercy. The roof of the nave is made of boxes painted with angels. Also noteworthy is the organ - which must be from the 18th century - which is still awaiting restoration. (Original) La Santa Casa da Misericordia de Monção está en funcionamiento a mediados del siglo XVI, pues en 1561 le fue incorporado el lazareto de S. Gião con todos sus bienes y rentas. En 1690 los cofrades deciden construir una nueva sede, eligiéndose el lugar actual. Las obras comenzaron pronto -la fecha de 1693 figura en la portada norte- y avanzaron con la donación real de 400 reales anuales en 1696. Las obras se terminaron en el siglo XVIII, en el que se hicieron reformas en el templo para, a finales de la centuria, construir, adosada, la Casa do Consistorio. El sobrio barroco exterior se observa también en el interior, donde sobresale el dorado retablo de la capilla mayor, presidido por la Virgen de la Misericordia. La cubierta de la nave es de cajetones pintados con ángeles. Destaca también el órgano -que debe ser del XVIII-, que aún espera la restauración.

(Translated by Google) Both the ceiling and the floor are spectacular. Visit it and you'll see what I'm talking about!! (Original) Tanto el techo como el suelo son espectaculares. Visítala y veras de lo que hablo!!

(Translated by Google) I enjoyed seeing this church. It was quite pretty and had a beautiful organ. (Original) Gostei de ver esta igreja. Bastante bonita e um belo órgão.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and quite well maintained. The name that appears in the notices is that of Santa María dos Anjos de Moncao. I suppose that our lady's name is so as not to confuse her with that of Valenca of the same name. The images are beautifully made and in magnificent conservation. A must stop on a walk through this beautiful border town. (Original) Preciosa y bastante bien cuidada. El nombre que aparece en los avisos es el de Santa María dos Anjos de Moncao.lo de nuestra señora supongo que será para no confundirla con la de Valenca del mismo nombre. Las imágenes tienen una bella factura y una magnífica conservación.. parada obligada en un paseo pir este bello pueblo de la frontera.

(Translated by Google) The main church of Monçao is located in the old town of the town and was built during the reign of D. Dinis, in the 13th century. It has different architectural influences such as Gothic, Manueline or Baroque, with its façade being in the Romanesque style. The façade is composed of three archivolts decorated with floral and geometric motifs, sitting on three pairs of columns with decorative capitals with plant motifs. (Original) La iglesia matriz de Monçao está situada en el casco viejo de la villa y fue construida durante el reinado de D. Dinis, en el siglo XIII. Tiene distintas influencias arquitectónicas como la gótica, manuelina o barroca, siendo su portada de estilo románico. La portada está compuesta por tres arquivoltas decoradas con motivos florales y geométricos, estando asentadas en tres pares de columnas con capiteles decoradores con motivos vegetales.

(Translated by Google) The church of Our Lady of Monzón (Monçao) was born, at least, with the town itself, in 1261, when it received charter from Alfonso III. If there was a previous building, it was completely redone at the beginning of the 14th century, when the western façade dates, the rest being from the modern period, especially the 17th and 18th centuries. With a single nave, the main chapel houses a large baroque altarpiece in which the image of the Trinity stands out, on the Gospel side. The most important thing in the temple is the late Gothic chapel of San Sebastian, founded by the apostolic notary D. Vasco Marinho to be buried there. It opens to the church through a large, highly decorated pointed arch, with the tomb on the north side, presided over by an image of the Virgin among her weapons. The epitaph bears the date 1521. Of lesser artistic value is, on the other side, the chapel of Deu-la-deu Martins, from 1679. The remains of this heroine would rest there, presenting, in Monção, what is attributed to various legendary women in other towns. European. With the place surrounded by the troops of Henry II of Castile, in one of the wars he had with Ferdinand I of Portugal –1369-1370, one, and 1372-1373 the second–, with Monçao already practically without provisions, Deu-la -deu had two loaves baked and, climbing up the wall, he threw them to the besiegers who, assuming they could not defeat the town due to hunger, lifted the siege. The fact is recorded in the town's coat of arms, where a woman appears on a tower with a loaf of bread in each hand and, on the border, the phrase "Deus o deu, Deus o ha dada", which would be what Deus said. la-deu to the besiegers. (Original) La iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Monzón (Monçao) nace, como mínimo, con la propia villa, en 1261, cuando recibe fuero de Alfonso III. De haber un edificio anterior, fue completamente rehecho a principios del XIV, de cuando data la portada occidental, siendo lo demás de época moderna, en especial del XVII y XVIII. De una sola nave, la capilla mayor alberga un gran retablo barroco en el que destaca la imagen de la Trinidad, en el lado del Evangelio. Lo más importante del templo es la capilla de San Sebastián, tardogótica, fundada por el notario apostólico D. Vasco Marinho para ser enterrado en ella. Se abre a la iglesia mediante un gran arco apuntado muy decorado, estando la sepultura en el lado norte, presidida por una imagen de la Virgen entre sus armas. El epitafio lleva la fecha de 1521. De un valor artístico inferior es, en el otro lado, la capilla de Deu-la-deu Martins, de 1679. En ella descansarían los restos de esta heroína que presenta, en Monção, lo que se atribuye a diversas mujeres legendarias en otras villas europeas. Estando el lugar cercado por las tropas de Enrique II de Castilla, en una de las guerras que mantuvo con Fernando I de Portugal –1369-1370, una, y 1372-1373 la segunda–, estando Monçao ya prácticamente sin vituallas, Deu-la-deu hizo cocer dos panes y, subiéndose a la muralla, los echó a los sitiadores que, suponiendo no podían vencer a la villa por hambre, levantaron el sitio. El hecho se recoge en el blasón de la localidad, donde figura una mujer sobre una torre con un pan en cada mano y, en la bordura, la frase «Deus o deu, Deus o há dado», que sería lo dicho por Deus-la-deu a los sitiadores.

(Translated by Google) Romanesque church with many alterations. Beautiful Romanesque portal. Inside, two chapels are worth mentioning: a Manueline chapel with a 16th-century tomb and the 17th-century Deu-la-Deu chapel. It is worth a visit, walking through the old houses and passing by the nearby Casa do Arco. Another not-so-common feature is that it is open to the public. (Original) Igreja românica com muitas alterações. Belo portal românico. No interior são de destacar duas capelas: uma manuelina com um túmulo do século XVI e a capela de Deu-la-Deu do século XVII. Vale a pena a visita, percorrendo o casario antigo e passado pela casa do arco que fica mesmo perto. Outra coisa nem sempre habitual: está aberta ao público.

It’s simply beautiful! In any time you can enjoy the silence and the music of nature!

Amazing place for visiting

Very pretty

Perfect for countryside, good food and wine lovers. Very cheap costs overall and very friendly people

The views are stunning, wait for the sunset you'll love it!

Nice view but not much more to it..

Its a castle, i guess, giving 4 stars because it does nothing wrong but its one of the most boring castles I've been to.

Great service! Don't miss the wine tasting!

I didn’t expect such an interesting and informative museum about a very special local wine, the lady preferred to do it in French which was fine for me, don’t miss this museum

Museum with free entry. Gives some information on the history of wine making in the area, but most importantly it includes a free wine tasting! Mind the siesta closing times

Small but great museum. The have funky lighting setup and you can do a few free tasting of local moncao alvarinho wine!

Nice museum, we can taste and understand why this wine is so fresh and elegant, the staff was amazing.

Except for the bad English translation of the video

Nice

(Translated by Google) Of the few rooms that remain in the northwest of Spain and particularly in Galicia, it is curious that being a party room located in Moncao Portugal, 60 or 70 percent of the people who frequent it are Spanish and specifically Galician, they It is a few km from the border. For a few years now we have located this room that we frequent, the average age > 45. The best day is Saturday by far. On Sunday after 10 p.m. there are almost no people left (Original) De las pocas salas que quedan en el noroeste de España y particularmente de Galicia, es curioso que siendo una,sala,de fiestas ubicada en Moncao Portugal, el 60 o 70 por ciento de la gente que lo frecuenta es Española y concretamente gallega, les queda a unos pocos Km de la frontera. Desde ya hace unos cuantos años que ubicamos esta sala que frecuentamos, la media de edad > de 45. El mejor día es el sábado con diferencia. El domingo apartir de las 22 horas ya no queda casi gente

(Translated by Google) On Sunday the América orchestra was there, pure rock, they literally left me speechless about how good they are and the Velvet room has been up to the task during the breaks. Friendly and cordial staff, it is a pleasure to see them on weekends. (Original) El dom estuvo la orquesta América, puro rock, me dejaron sin habla literalmente de lo buenos q son y la sala Velvet ha estado a la altura en los descansos.

(Translated by Google) For me I would not return, the place is very old without changes, the bathrooms are very old and moreover the seats are damaged and broken, it is not meant to be open, they would have to do a good renovation and seeing that in parts the floor is sinking, I think that the inspection and looking at everything we were comfortable not to my taste it seems more than a nightclub it looks like a shed with a separate costume I would not return I did not like it at all (Original) Para mí no volvería más el local muy antiguo sin cambios los baños muy antiguos y más las butacas están estropeadas y rotas no es para estar abiertos tendrían que hacer una buena reformación y e visto que en partes el piso se hunde yo pienso que tendría que ir la inspección y mirar todo nos cómodo no de gusto a mí parece más que una discoteca parece un cobertizo con disfraz a parte yo no volvería no me a gustado nada

(Translated by Google) I've been going to Velvet for several years, to be more precise, for 8 years, and it's a shame that the decoration has become a bit tiresome, always the same thing. I think it would be time to remodel the space a bit, and as far as music goes, it's a shame that they asked for the habit of putting in a bit of Portuguese music, which also has good music. (Original) Já vô a Velvet a vários anos para ser mais preciso a 8 anos e é pena que no diz parte decoração já se tornou um pouco cansativo sempre a mesma coisa,acho que seria hora de remodelar um pouco o espaço ,e no que diz respeito a música pena que se tenha pedido o abito de por um pouco de música Portuguesa que também tem boa música

(Translated by Google) The room itself is good, the entrance is €6 and you have the right to a drink, I went on a holiday and the atmosphere was more oriented towards couples and mature people, we will have to try another day to see if there is more youth... .. (Original) La sala en si está bien,la entrada son 6€ y tienes derecho a una consumición,yo fui un festivo y el ambiente era más orientado a parejas y personas ya maduritas, habrá que probar otro día aver si hay más juventud......

(Translated by Google) It seemed to me to be an outdated nightclub that, on top of charging you €6 for entry without a drink, then for having a gin and tonic, from a brand that in Spain costs you about €7, there it costs you €10. A shame, for my part I don't think I'll come back (Original) me pareció una discoteca desfasada que por encima de cobrarte la entrada 6€ sin consumición después por tomarte un gintonic , de una marca que en España te sale sobre 7€, alli te cuesta 10€. Un timoooo, por mi parte no creo que vuelva
