Alhama de Granada

Alhama de Granada means "the baths of Granada" in Arabic and is the site of a hot spring. It is still a resort in the sense that you can pay a fee, then enjoy a wide range of procedures all of which probably make you healthier, better looking, more interesting and wealthier. Not requiring such interventions, we went for a hike in the canyon along the river and looked at broken down mills instead.
