Ourense, Spain - best spas and hotels ?

I'll be travelling throughout Portugal and plan to end the trip in the North of Spain. I know that Ourense, Spain is known for its thermal waters. My question is: can you reccomend a nice hotel to relax which may be near a Spa or can you suggest a good spa-hotel to stay a couple of days before hading back home?

I cannot help with the town itself, but about half an hour's drive away is a parador called Estevo. It's in a beautiful old building (a monastry) and the setting is stunning. It includes a spa. You would need a car to get there, I think. We've just been once, but of all the paradores, it's in our top five definitely.

Thank you for your suggestion. The Parador certainly looks like a serene and ideal spot. It does have a spa, however, what I'm looking for is one which is close to thermal waters which I believe Ourense has many. I may be able to use the Parador as home base and drive to the thermal waters parks.
