Description
The municipality of Lanjarón is located on the southeast slopes of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada.
The high quality of its medicinal water has given the town a long history as a health spa, situated beside the Valle de Lecrín and crossed by the river Lanjarón, a tributary of the river Guadalfeo. It shares the typical features of all Alpujarra villages, i.e. a distinctive type of architecture in the buildings, adapted to the structure of the irregular land and to the climate of the area, which is characterized by narrow streets with memories of a Moorish past.
The western threshold of Las Alpujarras, a unique natural connection between the Mediterranean coast and Sierra Nevada, towered by the highest peaks of the Peninsula, Lanjarón is a place to visit.
