A natural oasis in the middle of the Toril 4×4 route
In the Gorafe desert, where the landscape is reminiscent of another planet, there is a hidden corner of hot springs in Granada that very few know about: the Raja de Alicún. A surprising enclave where the water flows warm, the environment exudes history, and the silence is only interrupted by the sound of water running between ancient ditches.
Our 4×4 Route of the Oasis del Toril takes you to this sacred place, combining adventure, geological history and a thermal experience in the middle of nature.
What makes Raja de Alicún unique?
Natural hot springs in Granada with prehistoric history
La Raja de Alicún is not only a place where hot springs are born, it is also a geothermal and archaeological corridor. Roman irrigation ditches, megalithic dolmens, and karst formations shaped by centuries of erosion and hydrothermal activity converge here.
This environment, included in the Granada Geopark, is ideal for those looking for more than just thermal baths in Granada: it is a sensory, landscape and cultural experience.
Natural hot springs with healing properties
These waters emerge at about 25-28ºC and are loaded with minerals that have traditionally been used for therapeutic and relaxing purposes. Some visitors claim that they help relieve stress, improve circulation and care for the skin.
If you are looking for free hot springs in Granada, this corner still retains that wild and accessible aura that alternative travelers value so much.
