Alhama de Murcia Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

In the shade of Sierra Espuña lies a town with beautiful heritage and unique natural surroundings. Spend your holidays in Alhama de Murcia and discover it for yourself.

Just a few miles away from the city of Murcia lies the town of Alhama de Murcia. The name of the town, which lies at the foot of the Sierra Espuña mountain range, comes from Arabic times, and refers to the healing properties of the town’s spring waters, as Al-hamma means “thermal baths” in Arabic. Come visit Alhama yourself and explore the town’s picturesque old quarter, or use it as a base to explore the unique surrounding landscapes.

Enjoy your ideal getaway and choose one of our cheap trips to Alhama de Murcia. Once there, you can lose yourself visiting the town's castle, a fort of Arabic origin that dates back to the 11th century. The stronghold stands on a hill, meaning it offers some wonderful views over the town and the surrounding area. At the foot of the hill, you will find two of the town's main attractions: the archaeological museum of Los Baños and the church of San Lázaro Obispo. Together, these two buildings form a an architectural site designed to preserve the remnants of the thermal baths of Alhama. The church is thought to have been built on an old mosque, and is an amalgam of different styles.

Take advantage of our package deals to Alhama de Murcia to discover the town's magnificent natural surroundings and visit protected parks, such as the Sierra Espuña regional park, with rocky peaks that are up to a mile high. If you've always dreamed of setting foot on the moon, the Gebas ravines give you the opportunity to enjoy a stunning view that evokes a lunar landscape.

On your trip to Alhama de Murcia, you can arrive at your destination by bus from nearby towns such as Murcia, Lorca or Cartagena.
