Description
Alhama de Granada, located on top of a huge rocky spur and surrounded by a deep pass where the river Alhama flows, offers magnificent views of the town and of the river and its surrounding areas.
The old town displays its monumental wealth along steep and narrow streets, a witness to its historical past.
It is a must to pay a visit to the medicinal health spa, one of the most prestigious in Spain.
In the outskirts of Alhama, visitors can see the delightful scenery of Poniente Granadino (west side of Granada) which offers: to the north, the Sierra de Loja mountain range, a meeting point for hang gliding and paragliding lovers; to the south, the incomparable north face of the Sierra Tejeda mountain range, a breathtaking reddish-brown rock surrounded by the greenery of vineyards, yews, and pines, crowned by a layer of snow in winter; and to the southwest, one can see the Llano and the Boquete de Zafarraya, a fissure in the mountain range that leads to the Mediterranean and to the Costa del Sol.
