Manantial de Hervideros

The Manantial de Hervideros is a sulphurous thermal spring 4 km from Cofrentes whose waters rise as if boiling from volcanic ground. The Diputación links the spring to the nearby Cerro de Agras volcano, whose underground gases feed these waters, and a historic spa among the pines bottles and serves the tradition.

The spring and the volcano

The waters surface in the Hervideros area on the CV-439, inside the spa complex that houses the spring. The story continues on the PR-CV 379 volcanic route, a 4 km trail with 190 m of ascent that climbs the Cerro de Agras cone at 527 m to see volcanic bombs and the crater trace, starting from Calle del Castillo in Cofrentes.

Tips for your visit

The spring sits inside a working spa building, so check access and opening times before going; this is a place to look and to taste under the house rules, not a bathing pool. You need a car for the whole area. Round off the day with the Hoces del Cabriel viewpoints or an overnight stop in Requena.
