Not The Same
Jul. 2019
I use to come to Luso as a kid and loved it. On our trip I cold not believe how it had changed and that it was almost a ghost town. The fountain was similar but it just didn't have the magic like before.

Fresh mountain water

In the centre of Luso, nothing much to see here, however you can quench your thirst at this fountain of mountain water.

The water is very good, really worst to fill the bottles as all the locals do!

Good water, in the town center, Luso spa located nearby.
A place to hydrate yourself and rest in a small park around the fountain, or have a snack in the cafes around the square.

Had ro stop for my free drink

A superb little town perched on a hillside with stunning views that last forever. I queued behind the locals as they filled their bottles with this magnificent spring water. Loved the little church.

fresh water
Jan. 2018 • Couples
When passing by go down to the fountain for a drink. It's very nice. People stop here and fill their bottles all the time! Why buy Luso water when you can get it directly from the source!

Quiet mountainside town
May 2017 • Couples
Luso is a quiet mountainside town near the northern tip of Buçaco National Park. It’s known for its mineral springs and thermal baths. A charming village to explore, also with the São João Fountain in the village square where anyone can fill up their bottles with mineral water. In the same square sits a small 18th century chapel called “Capela de São João” Evangelista. The neighbouring town of Buçaco is also a must see. This was an unscheduled stop for us and did not disappoint.

Pure water

Just a fountain where you can get fresh water and fill your bottles. Normally a lot of people is picking water here. Nothing special (the fountain) but the water is very good.
