Locals Gather Spring Water With Bottles

Using recycled bottles, locals collect thermal spring water at Fonte de Sao Joao, on 17th July 2016, in the spa resort of Luso, Portugal. In the 11th century, Luso was a sleepy village linked to a monastery in the hills near Coimbra but it became a lively spa resort in the 1700s as its hot water springs became a focus for tourism. The waters here are said to have therapeutic value in the treatment for bad circulation, muscle tone, rheumatism and renal problems.
