About This Spring
## Overview Pontevedra City is home to the Senda do Lérez, a beautiful, green riverside path with a storied past. This area was historically used as a place where high-ranking European monarchs came to seek cures from the natural spring waters. According to local lore, the RMS Titanic sourced water from this very natural spring to create its VIP drinking water — a remarkable claim that speaks to the reputation these waters once held. The spring water has historically been regarded as excellent and has been reported to help treat stomach problems. Visitors have long praised the quality and taste of the water, though as always, it's wise to test or filter any natural spring water before drinking. ## What to Expect The path along the Lérez river is lovely — lush, green, and perfect for a leisurely walk. The public drinking spring is accessible along the route, making it easy to stop and fill up. The combination of natural beauty and historical significance makes this a rewarding visit whether you're coming for the water or simply for the scenery. **GPS:** 42.488669, -8.569637
