Baños de Sierra Alhamilla Hot Springs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The thermal waters of Baños de Sierra Alhamilla are located in the village of Pechina, Almería.

The spring emerges from carbonate rocks of the Nevado-Filábride Complex aquifer, with a constant flow at a high temperature (58°C).
Benefits of the waters:


Therapeutic: anti-inflammatory and analgesic (rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia, trauma); antispasmodic and sedative effects due to radon.
Dermatological: eliminate oil and dead skin, regenerate the skin; promote sweating and detoxification.
Respiratory: beneficial for rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, asthma, and allergies; thin mucus.
Digestive: help with gastritis, ulcers, dyspepsia, and gallbladder problems; prevent gallstones and reduce uric acid; diuretic and detoxifying.

The accessible circular reservoir near the "Hollywood scene spot" in Pechina is more of a historic urban cistern.
Located next to the old Pechina Gate, also known as the Purchena Gate, it was part of the Almería city water supply system during the medieval period.
It was part of the hydraulic system implemented by Jayrán (early 11th century), connecting the Alhadra Fountain with multiple public cisterns, including the circular one next to the gate.

The Espinaza Bridge and the mining ruins are linked to the former mining activity in the Sierra Alhamilla area (Almería), where minerals such as iron and lead were extracted from Roman times until the early 20th century.

It is a historic structure located on the mining route that connected the loading docks and furnaces with the roads leading to the coast.

It was used to span ravines and facilitate the transport of ore by carts and, later, wagons.
Today it is preserved as an industrial vestige, integrated into trails that wind through the mountains.
