This thermal water has more than 2000 years of history, once it was used by the ancient Romans to heal skin and digestive diseases and was even transported to Rome, for the elites of the time to drink.

In fact, it was the Romans who gave Monchique its name, from the Latin expression Mons Cicus, that meant Sacred Water and built the SPA in Caldas de Monchique, but there is evidence that the area was populated as far back as the Stone Age.
