Roman Baths of Alameda

Highlight • Historical Site

The Roman baths are actually a construction that was carried out in two phases. The first dates back to the Chalcolithic period, and at least 37 circular pits or silos have been preserved from this period, which were originally classified as necropolises. The second phase began in the 1st century AD, following the Roman occupation; the baths were built during this period, the main leisure centre of the time.

The exhibition can currently be visited throughout the year from 10:00 to 14:00, from 16:00 to 18:00 (October-March) and from 18:00 to 20:00 (April-September). On Sundays, the hours are from 10:00 to 15:00, and it is closed on Mondays.

Road Through Olive Plantations

Highlight • Cycleway

The section near Alameda is a particularly attractive route for cyclists, leading through vast olive groves and rolling hills. The landscape is characterized by typical Andalusian agricultural landscapes, small farms, and extensive olive plantations that stretch for miles. The focus of this bike tour is less on the physical challenge and more on enjoying the peace, nature, and characteristic Andalusian scenery. The road offers numerous opportunities to take in the surroundings at your leisure and experience the beauty of the olive groves up close.
