The cost of joining the 90-minute tour, which starts at 11.00 at the tourist office of Alhama, is just 3 euros for adults and 2 euros for under-12s. Prior booking is required through the tourist office (968 633512) or the Los Baños Archaeological Museum (968 630776), or online at www.turismo.alhamademurcia.es.
