Nature Trails Of Lanjaron


By Dan Cortese at 2010-11-11 00:19:14
LANJARÓN has enjoyed great tourism and nods of approval from the outside world more than any other place in Alpujarras because of its curative powers, presumably from its spa waters, which are being sold in all of Spain in bottles. Lanjaron’s famous spa baths are usually open from March to December, with the town flocked by the old and the infirmed.

Impressive Strolls

The little town has many modern buildings beautifully decorated, lining the main road and its main hotel, the Avenida Alpujarra. The Alpujarras which was some Moorish castle located at Lanjarón's foothills, marks as a gateway to this medieval town, although it is in a dilapidated condition that is not too distinct to the passing eye. However, a slow stroll of about 10 minutes will unveil its dramatic location by going downhill directly to the terraces and lush flat lands below.

It is an impressive stroll around Lanjaron’s mountains and countryside that might take a day, but is well worth the time spent, as you enjoy the natural beauty and sights all around. As you walk through the town’s alleyways, you might notice a steep track that leads you to the spacious reserved national park called Reserva Nacional de la Sierra Nevada.

For those who love strolls and trekking, Lanjaron holds many opportunities for exercising your love of nature. An easy walk around Lanjaron includes crossing the river bridge on the eastside of town, and uphill on a cobbled path which goes parallel with the river.

There are refreshing sights of small farms, nature views and landscapes before crossing a stone bridge to get back to Lanjarón. This trek takes at least 6 hours to complete.

Refreshing Baths & Massages

This little town also provides relaxation of various kinds, especially after a trek or stroll. There are simple soaks for just 9 Euros, with massages as add-ons, plus mud baths with all types of exotic names.

Places to Stay

There are plenty of good hotels and places to stay in this town, ranging from the up market and grand Hotel España with a pool, to the delightful apartments down the hill. There are studio apartments for rent that come with a kitchenette, as well as beautiful views from the balcony overlooking the castle at the town’s foothill. At the east side of town are some budget rooms that also provide excellent meals or a little walk away, like 1 kilometer. There are quiet affordable en-suite rooms that come with beautiful views of nature and the surrounding landscape.

There are mountain bikes for hire or horse-riding facilities to enjoy a trek around the mountains, as well as rock-climbing activities for the more adventurous.

Gastronomy

Lanjaron’s plentiful restaurants are usually found at the hotels or other places to stay, as with the tapas bars with prices ranging from decent to up market, depending on the menu. There are lots of seafood, meat or even vegetarian dishes to suit your palate.

At night, it is not all quiet as the town’s latest discotheque cum bar belts out its music, competing with the Noche Azul nightclub just at the main square corner.

If you are planning for family vacations, staying at villas may be a great option villas majorca pollensa, villa javea and villas calella are few of best options.And you can also read my article on Dan Cortese Articles & also read my blog on Dan Cortese Blog.
