Alhama de Granada Hot Springs

For hundreds of years the mineral-rich thermal springs at Alhama have been credited with possessing revitalizing and therapeutic properties, and in particular are believed to relieve rheumatism, arthritis, sciatica, myalgic pain, certain skin problems and many respiratory conditions. The springs have been channelled into baths since Roman times.
Alhama de Granada is a picturesque little town just half-an-hour’s drive from Granada city. The town is perched at the top of a ravine through which the river Alhama flows. The hot springs are located in a poplar grove by the banks of the river, just a short distance from the town centre (2,5 km).
The springs are one of Andalusia’s best-kept secrets, rarely mentioned in tourist guides and frequented almost exclusively by locals. By day, the springs are used by families living nearby, and by night they are a popular apres-nightclub “chill out” rendezvous for early morning revellers. 
The town of Alhama is itself well worth a visit. It is steeped in history, offering visitors a chance to explore its charming streets and historic sites after a day of relaxation at the spa or the strings.
