MTB Holiday Route: Alhama (Al- Hammam (The baths) in Arabic) was the most lamented city in the kingdom of Granada when it fell to the Christians. This beautiful town is located at the other side of the meadow and this noble bearing city at the edge of the ravines couldn't protect itself against the Castilian conquest.
