Alhama de Granada is an old spa village of about 6,000 people (2018) in Granada Province about 50 km from the city of Granada. The name is derived from its thermal baths, which are called الـحَـمّـة al-hammah in Arabic. Alhama de Granada looks out over spectacular scenery; the view to the Sierra Nevada is uninterrupted. The Sierras of Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park is a few kilometers to the south.
