The pleasant spa town of Alhama de Almería, sometimes known as the watchtower of the Andarax valley, lies in the foothills of the Sierra de Gádor, surrounded by both irrigated land producing grapes and, in contrast, by arid semi-desert.
Its narrow streets, flat roofed houses, the remains of a fort and Arabic baths point to its Moorish past but there is evidence that, in earlier times, the Romans too exploited the medicinal waters. During the last quarter of the 19th century economic development brought workers to the nearby mining areas and, o­n the agricultural front, the cultivation of Ohanes grapes was introduced. The resulting prosperity gave rise to the construction of the spa and today the town is served well by hotels. It also has the bonus of a municipal swimming pool, in a shady area, close to a cascade that tumbles down the rocks, at the western end of the town.
