Water and Climate


As in all the regions on the North of Extremadura the water has a fundamental importance, in Ambroz Valley, it acquires a singular one not only due to the abundance of river beds and watercourses that are scattered all over the zone, but also due to the marshes. Springs of sulphurous waters long time ago in Baños de Montemayor that came into the building of Roman thermae and spas that nowadays keep performing their therapeutic and curative functions.

The luxuriant vegetation, made up mainly by woods of chestnut trees, oaks, pines and some fruit trees, makes a wonderful landscape, unusual for many people that imagine Extremadura as a large plain.

According to Dr. Conde Gargollo, who was the director of the spa for 25 years, “We’ve been able to confirm the excellent quality of the climate as a complement to the hydrotherapy cure”.

Baños has got a rainy weather in Autumn and Spring, in contrast to a summer with few precipitations, hot but not sultry. The annual medium temperature is 13.5°C.

The privileged situation of Baños de Montemayor, in a little valley, makes its climate to be rather smooth without the extreme cold of the Castilian plateau, nor the exhausting hot of the plains of Extremadura. Winters are smooth and in summer, even in the hottest days (35-38°C as much), nights are pleasant with temperatures never over 25°C.
