Visit the Roman Villa of Salar from Granada

Visiting the Roman villa of Salar from Granada means feeling Rome in Granada. We suggest you travel in time to know more about the Ancient Roman Empire.

The Roman villa of Salar is one of the most important samples of the historical heritage of the province related to the ancient Roman civilization. It is an unknown archaeological jewel of exceptional conservation and a symbol of domestic architecture. Do not miss it!

Description

Starting from the city of Granada, and less than 20 minutes away, we will arrive at the archaeological site of the Roman villa of Salar. It is a one-day trip to see first hand one of the most important Roman houses on the Iberian Peninsula.

Its exceptional state of conservation will allow us to admire some of its main rooms, such as the central patio, the bedrooms or the dining room. The good state of conservation of the Roman mosaics is the most impressive part of the visit. Do you want to know what they symbolize? You will find from hunting scenes to mythological ones. Undoubtedly, they are the perfect examples to arouse curiosity about the history of this town.

After visiting the archaeological site, and the excavations that are progressing every year in the Roman villa of Salar, we will go to the interpretation center and tourist office of Salar. In this place everything will make even more sense and we will delve even deeper into the history of this house inhabited between the 1st and 6th centuries. We will tell you how this home was forgotten and remained unknown until it was rediscovered almost by chance in 2004. A fascinating story!

Afterwards, we will give you some free time so that you can visit the beautiful town of Salar. You can also take advantage of this time to enjoy the exquisite gastronomy of the area.

We booked a tour into the Sierra Nevada starting from Granada. Carlos our tour guide and driver prepared a very beautiful custom tour for us. He showed us amazing viewpoints, we did some hikes through the awesome scenery of the the sierra and talked about geology and history. It was super interesting and entertaining. That's would normally the end of the review...but I forgot my glasses in Carlos' car and had a super tight time window for my departure from the airport. When I realised that I was already in the taxi to the airport...I contacted Discovering Spain by Whatsapp. The website of Discovering Spain told me 'closed on the afternoon'. But a friendly team member read my message and called Carlos. Carlos whatsapped me he could be at the airport in 20min - 5min to my boarding. We met at the security (I was already screened) and I had my glasses back. Awesome reaction and awesome service by Discovering Spain and the man of the day Carlos. Thank you!

We were admittedly nervous when we booked a guided tour of Alhambra with Discovering Spain because everything was booked for our chosen date. When we called they told us that more places would open up so we went ahead and booked it. We followed up many times with them (probably too much) and they were patient with us. They confirmed our tickets and when the day came everything went smoothly. Our guide Cristina was excellent. She was soft spoken and was a pleasure to listen to her throughout the tour with interesting facts and pointed out fascinating details all through Alhambra and Nasrid Palaces. We couldn’t imagine visiting this beautiful site without such a great guide.
