Baño Grande — 'The Large Bath' — is a naturally sulphurous thermal spring facility in Spain whose name distinguishes it as the principal or most impressive of a group of thermal bathing pools, commanding the geothermal resources of the site and providing the primary bathing experience for visitors and local users alike. Large communal thermal pools fed by natural hot springs have a distinguished history across the Iberian Peninsula, serving as social hubs and health resources for communities in geothermal-rich regions. Baño Grande continues this tradition with warm, sulphurous mineral water in an open, welcoming format.

Insider tip — Baño Grande occupies the town of Lanjarón, gateway to the Alpujarras, the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada overlooking the Costa Tropical just 50 km away. The sulphurous waters emerge from fractures in metamorphic rock at the base of the Sierra, cool and laden with natural sulphur. The village itself, known for its bottled mineral water sold throughout Spain, offers a lively local market and white Mudéjar-tradition streets ideal for extending the cure.
