Patron Enrique Peinador Vela developed this initiative in the 19thcentury. The thermal spa enjoyed moments of great splendour, receiving visits from illustrious figures such as Castelao, Queen Isabel of Portugal or Emilia Pardo Bazán. It had a printing press, and launched the weekly journal La Temporada and the magazine Mondariz. It even had its own currency, the Peinador. The Civil War brought this activity to a halt, and a fire in 1973 put an end to a golden age, although some rooms were equipped for use as a thermal spa that operated until 1994, when the new and modern facilities were designed.

One of the main highlights of the town is the Grand Hotel, designed by the architect Jenaro de la Fuente. The hotel was built over the old clinic hotel, an unfinished project by Antonio Palacios. Other outstanding features include the statue of Peinador; the thermal springs of Troncoso and A Gándara, on which Palacios built a polished granite pavilion; the Municipal Water Museum and the Water Palace.
