Balneario Alhama de Granada
Balneario Alhama de Granada
This Spa, which is three kilometers outside of the village Alhama de Granada, 55 kilometers from Granada city. The Balneario Alhama de Granada nestles in between lush green mountains and is beside the river Merchán. It sits at an altitude of 850 meters above sea level, has both Arabic and Roman influence in its design and provides an ideal space for relaxation. The three star hotel Balneario and the one star Hotel Baño Nuevo have 220 and 120 rooms respectively.
These Arab baths, Alhama’s Balneario, are not structured around the typical three-room system for cold, warm, and hot water. Rather, since they feature a natural water spring or hammam, they are organized into a large room divided into three sections: the central one is square, and the two lateral ones are rectangular. They are located in a building dating from around the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, at the end of the Almohad and beginning of the Nasrid periods, judging by the use of certain typological elements such as the pointed horseshoe arches, characteristic of Almohad art. A work of ashlar masonry of notable workmanship, its base is Roman, although the arches, domes, and vaulting are Arabic.
The Hyper thermal natural waters have a temperature of 47º and contain bicarbonates, sulphates, calcium and magnesium.
