The historic center of Santa Fe has been declared an artistic historic complex and has numerous buildings and monuments. In terms of gastronomy, the piononos stand out, typical sweets from Granada that enjoy special fame here.

The Termas de Santa Fe or Aguas Calientes, as the locals call them, is a space of freedom among olive groves, in the suburban park of Dehesa de Santa Fe. Here, there are some pools from which waters arise naturally, at more than 36 degrees centigrade. Given the temperature of the water at the point of emergence and its physical-chemical composition, they are considered hyperthermal, and classified as strongly mineralized, within the group of sulfated, calcium and magnesium.

They currently have a fence and a guard, so bathing is no longer allowed. A shame now that it was much cleaner and more natural

If you do not mind the hippie camping truck, a worthwhile trip also from Granada. Half an hour by bus from C. Rector Marin Ocete to St. Fe. There definitely in the cafe and spoil yourself with the original Piononos. Before it goes on the approximately 1 hour hike through rather barren landscape. Find a nice spot at the hot springs. Just follow the watercourse down a bit.
