Historic center and Interpretation Center<\/h2>\n

The inventory of monuments of Alhama Tourism<\/a> identifies the Main Church of Santa Mar\u00eda de la Encarnaci\u00f3n, the Ca\u00f1o Wamba, the P\u00f3sito and the Hospital de la Reina. They are references to prepare a walk, without taking their interiors for granted.<\/p>\n

The old prison houses the Alhama de Granada Interpretation Center, dedicated to local history and culture. Its description includes the hot springs, the 1884 earthquake and the tradition of the carnival. Check the content of the center and the spaces that can be visited before organizing your visit.<\/p>\n

The Tourism visit page<\/a>, consulted on October 5, 2026, publishes a route through the town on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 12:00 to 14:00, with a price of \u20ac3 and free for children under 12 years of age. Optional entry to the Carmen Church comes with a supplement of \u20ac1. Confirm places, route and amount before booking.<\/p>\n

The same page publishes a visit to the Interpretation Center for \u20ac2, for one hour, and open from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. As the opening hours that appear elsewhere on the website do not match, check the exact opening for your date. A published reference does not guarantee an available place.<\/p>\n

Los Tajos: views and trails<\/h2>\n

The landscape of the Tajos can be part of the urban walk without completing a long excursion. The visits page includes the Mirador de los Tajos among its stops; request appropriate access to your mobility.<\/p>\n

The municipal trails page<\/a> differentiates, among others, the Camino Medieval de los \u00c1ngeles \/ Wetland de la Pantaneta, 6 km, and Los Crestones del Ca\u00f1\u00f3n de los Tajos, 13.5 km. The second description warns about cliffs and viewpoints and advises against that part for people with vertigo.<\/p>\n

Before choosing a trail, check the layout, gradient, access and current status. The length does not demonstrate that it is easy or appropriate for the entire group. With children, avoid improvising access to ledges, slopes or unprotected sections; Follow the route notices and local directions.<\/p>\n

Historic baths and spa services<\/h2>\n

Tourism locates the historic baths inside the Spa Hotel. To see this heritage, ask about a cultural visit, its access and openness. A current visiting time for the historic baths has not been confirmed here.<\/p>\n

The balneario de Alhama de Granada website<\/a> offers accommodation, a thermal pool and other services. The establishment is located on Carretera del Balneario, s\/n, and provides the telephone number 958 350 011<\/strong> and the email info@balnearioalhamadegranada.com. A reservation or availability for a specific date is not credited.<\/p>\n

In its frequently asked questions<\/a>, consulted on October 5, 2026, the operator indicates a cost of \u20ac24 per person per day for the thermal pool for non-hosted clients<\/strong>. The pool page<\/a> indicates that its use is included in the stays. Confirm rate, schedule, admission and conditions before traveling.<\/p>\n

For non-hosted clients, the frequently asked questions indicate a bathrobe or pool towel, hat, flip-flops and a swimsuit. Also check the conditions for minors and your accessibility needs. This information does not replace a health assessment nor does it justify promises of cure or that the bath is suitable for anyone.<\/p>\n
