Lanjarón
Lanjarón is sourced from the Salud spring in the town of Lanjarón, in the Alpujarras foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Granada province, Andalusia. The springs of Lanjarón were documented at the end of the 18th century; in 1818, six springs in the area were formally declared of mineral-medicinal value by the Spanish authorities. Commercial bottling began in 1830, making Lanjarón the first commercially bottled water in Spain. In 2006 the brand merged with Font Vella to form Aguas Font Vella y Lanjarón SA, a Danone subsidiary. Lanjarón holds natural mineral water status.

Mineral character
Lanjarón is a moderately soft, bicarbonate-dominant water. Bicarbonate is the highest ion at 108 mg/L, with calcium at 28.9 mg/L and magnesium at 11.4 mg/L giving a total hardness of 119 mg/L as CaCO₃. Alkalinity is 89 mg/L as CaCO₃. Sulphate is 19.3 mg/L; chloride is 0 mg/L (below detection); sodium is 5.9 mg/L. TDS is approximately 200 mg/L. The profile is clean and unremarkable: soft to medium-soft, bicarbonate-led, with no ion at an unusual level.
