So I found this abandoned hotel on the way to Sortelha… and the story is wild. It used to be a luxury thermal hotel with over 90 rooms, welcoming people from different countries because everyone believed the water here could cure illnesses. They even sold the water abroad. Then science stepped in, people started saying the water was radioactive and dangerous, and just like that, the place was abandoned. The hotel closed in 1945. The world moved on, this place didn’t. It’s incredibly beautiful in a quiet, unexpected way. Surrounded by nature, no noise, no crowds, just time standing still and perfect sunsets ✨ Today it’s just ruins, but it really makes you think how something once so exclusive can be completely forgotten. Would you stop by if you see this place? #aguasradium #penahotel #termas #sortelha #aquaradium
