Lightest Mineral Waters in Spain
Among the mineral waters available in Spain in the h2oMatch database, these have the lowest fixed residue values.
Under EU rules for natural mineral waters, a water with a fixed residue of no more than 50 mg/L may be labelled 'very low mineral content', and up to 500 mg/L 'low mineral content'. In this ranking, BEZOYA is the only water below the 50 mg/L threshold.
Lightest Mineral Waters in Spain (selection)
| Water | Fixed Residue (mg/L) |
|---|---|
| BEZOYA | 27 |
| VERI 5 | 123 |
| Lanjarón | 130 |

The low mineralization of several Spanish waters is partly explained by geology. In granite massifs and other poorly soluble formations, water dissolves fewer minerals on its underground journey. This is the case for some springs in the Sierra de Guadarrama, the Pyrenees and other mountain regions.
These less mineralized profiles generally give a more neutral-tasting water. Spain therefore offers several domestic options for people who prefer a light everyday water, although mineralization levels still differ considerably from one source to another.

FAQ
What makes a mineral water 'light'?
Fixed residue measures the total amount of dissolved minerals. Under EU rules, a water up to 50 mg/L may be labelled 'very low mineral content', and up to 500 mg/L 'low mineral content'.
Are light waters suitable for everyday drinking?
Their low mineralization and generally neutral taste can make them a pleasant everyday choice. As with any mineral water, the full mineral profile is more informative than fixed residue alone.
Which is the lightest mineral water in Spain?
BEZOYA, with 27 mg/L fixed residue, ranks first in the h2oMatch Spain ranking.
All values are based on official mineral water labels and the h2oMatch database.
