Alange is a small municipality in the province of Badajoz in Extremadura, Spain, home to one of the most remarkably preserved ancient Roman bath complexes in the Iberian Peninsula. The natural chloride thermal springs that feed the baths have been in continuous use since at least the 1st century AD, and the surviving Roman bathhouse — with its circular domed chambers and intact pool architecture — is a monument of extraordinary historical significance. The waters, emerging at a constant temperature, were prized in antiquity within a long thermal tradition and continue to be used today in a modest modern bathing facility adjacent to the Roman ruins. Alange offers visitors a uniquely direct encounter with the Roman thermal tradition in a Extremaduran landscape of wheat fields, olive groves, and ancient reservoirs.

Insider tip — Explore the Roman baths, then the fortifications of Alburquerque, and taste the local Serrano ham.
