The sanatorium was built in the Alfaguara mountain range, as this is a place surrounded by nature and at a considerable altitude (1,487 meters above sea level). It was located very close to the Fuente Fría spring, where it was supplied with water. The main building of the sanatorium also had a dispensary and later a preventorium. Its inauguration was attended by personalities from the civil, military, ecclesiastical and scientific sectors, and representatives of the city council of Granada and Alfacar.

In the foothills of the Sierra de La Alfaguara, in the heart of the Sierra de Huetor Natural Park, there is a semi-hidden and ruined building that draws our attention, it is the Alfaguara Tuberculosis Sanatorium.
