The town of Alhama is huddled round a hill topped by a ruined, angular tower. It is surrounded by the green agricultural land of the Guadalentin valley. The thermal waters at Alhama led the Romans to build baths there and remains of these baths can be seen today. Also worth visiting is the Church of San Lazaro, a baroque style church built in the 18th century.
Neaby are the natural parks in the valley of Leyva and the peak of Morron, which is 1584m high and popular with climbers. here are also old snow wells in the area.
