| Summary: | This research aims to analyze the current state of the thermal tourism product in Spain. Although the literature has reported some research efforts in this direction, most of them are focused on providing partial analyses and, therefore, there is still a lack of works focused on a more comprehensive view and analyzed from different perspectives. Our work fills this gap by presenting a two-way methodology. First, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach is used for the identification and analysis of relevant research papers focused on Spanish thermal centers. In addition, data provided by the Spanish Association of Spas (ANBAL) are used as a base to contrast such relevant research with the information coming from the social network tool TripAdvisor. From the above, it is intended to provide a regional characterization of Spanish spas. A further discussion is also presented, as well as the theoretical and practical implications of the contribution.
