Alhama de Granada, Thermal spa town in Province of Granada, Spain
Located at 895 meters elevation, Alhama de Granada sits on a rocky cliff overlooking deep ravines where the Rio Alham flows through the landscape.
The town fell to Christian forces in 1482, marking a crucial point in the conquest of the Kingdom of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs.
The Alhama Music Festival occurs every August, featuring national artists performing rock, pop, and flamenco fusion across two stages in Patio del Carmen.
The thermal springs remain open from June through October, with the historic Muslim bathhouse accepting visitors at midday for guided tours.
The 1884 Andalusian earthquake resulted in extensive reconstruction of the town, supported by King Alfonso XII and nationwide contributions.
