As Burgas de Ourense, Asset of Cultural Interest.- Pedro Araújo Nespereira |
What does it means a water being mineral? Where does its heat come from? More than two thousand years ago humans started settling around these hot springs of As Burgas under the belief that a sacred power was responsible for the properties of this fluid. Today Science has revealed the truth behind this mystery, an explanation immersed in the magic of Nature developed through concepts of Geology and Chemistry. Pedro Araújo, Dean of the Science Faculty of the University of Vigo presents a scientific approach to As Burgas hot springs, in the belief that understanding the resource is the best way to protect and value it.
