The Roc del Metge spring, located in Escaldes-Engordany, is known as one of the hottest springs in Europe. Its water comes out at 70 degrees, and on colder days, the temperature drops between 55 and 60 degrees.

Due to its size and flow, the spring is used as Andorra's central reservoir of thermal water. The main consumer is Caldea, which on average uses about 35 m per hour to cover most of its facilities. But it is not the only user, truly, the Roc del Metge reservoir comes to distribute to a large part of the establishments, hotels, premises and even homes in the parish.

Location:
The source of the Roc del Metge is located on the road to the Neighborhood, in Escaldes-Engordany. Just before arriving at the avenue of the Bridge of the Tosca, in direction of ascent, it is necessary to turn to right hand and to enter in a brief slope that gives step to the source.
