The south of Spain is home to a veritable spring of health and well-being situated less than 30 minutes from the coast of Granada and Almería. We refer to the Sierra de La Alpujarra Mountains, a marvelous setting that contains numerous springs and thermal waters which offer therapeutic properties. The peaks of the Sierra Nevada give rise to one of the greatest treasures in Andalusia: the waters of Las Alpujarras. Their mineral-medicinal properties were recognized by the ancient Romans.
This mountain range extends through both Granada and Almería, and is dotted with natural springs and spas which have mostly been adapted for public use. All less than half an hour from the beach and in the exceptional setting of the Sierra Nevada Nature Reserve.
Just 46 kilometers from Granada city lies the spa center known as the Balneario de Lanjarón, in the town after which it is named, Lanjarón. This center of thermal waters has five separate springs, each with their own traits and properties.
The area lying within Almería also contains rejuvenating spas and hot springs. In the town of Alhama de Almería, just 22 kilometers from the city of Almería, lies the spa center known as the Balneario de San Nicolás. Further on, in Laujar de Andarax, you can drink from the 16 springs that exist in the town, and mid-way along the 11 kilometers that separate this town from Paterna del Río, lie the famous baths known as the Baños de Santiago, located at a place called Guarros.
