4 Spas in Granada for Thermal Tourism
The list of 5 spas in Granada presented here focuses on this province, which is especially blessed with thermal waters thanks to its mountainous topography, whether in the famous Sierra Nevada or in other lesser-known but equally interesting areas for a wellness and disconnection experience.
Lanjarón Spa
It is probably the most famous of all the spas in Granada, as its waters also reach the rest of Spain in the form of bottled mineral water. As for the spa itself, it is located on the outskirts of this municipality in the Alpujarra Granadina, being its main tourist attraction. Six different medicinal mineral waters flow through this spa resort, recommended for conditions as varied as digestive disorders, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, or stress.
Alhama de Granada Spa
Located in the municipality of the same name, a visit here is also a cultural experience, as the original baths, exploited since Roman times and given a monumental character by the Arabs, are still preserved. In fact, “Alhama” means “hot water” in their language. Its thermal waters are especially indicated for traumatological conditions (rheumatism, osteoarthritis, arthritis) and respiratory tract issues.
Zújar Spa
Located in the Baza region, on the northern slope of Mount Jabalcón, this spa is of recent construction, as the old ones were flooded by the construction of the Negratín reservoir. However, they use the same thermal waters that the Romans already knew, as recorded by Pliny in his writings. Its medicinal mineral waters are indicated for treating problems related to the female genital system, the nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, the skin, or even the auditory system, according to different treatments offered by the complex’s professionals.
Alicún de las Torres Spa
Belonging to the municipality of Villanueva de las Torres, in the Los Montes region, northeast of the province. It is known that these thermal waters, which emerge at a temperature of 34.5ºC, were already used in the 3rd century AD. For this reason and due to their properties (sulfated, calcium, and magnesium waters), they are recommended for chronic degenerative and inflammatory rheumatism, among others.
In addition to these 4 spas in Granada, there are many other wellness facilities, such as Arab hammams and hotels with spas that, although they use public tap water, can also offer a very relaxing experience. If you need help organizing yours, do not hesitate to contact Andalucía Exclusiva.
