The O Tinteiro fountain is located on the Thermal Walk of the Miño river, about 700 meters from the A Chavasqueira hot springs and 3 kilometers from the Plaza Mayor.

It is a very beloved and visited thermal spring in the city. Popular tradition attributes significant therapeutic properties to these thermal waters. Due to their composition, rich in minerals such as sulfur, these waters are especially recommended for skin conditions. It is common to see locals approaching with basins to soak their feet or even filling containers to take these waters home.

The O Tinteiro fountain is located on a wooden viewpoint built over the riverbed. The place offers magnificent views of the surroundings and is a privileged spot for bird watching. The viewpoint is accessed by a pedestrian path that runs along the banks of the Miño river, although there is also a parking area about 100 meters away.
