Láchar is a municipality in the province of Granada, in Spain. The village of Láchar lies in Granada's floodplain (or "Vega de Granada", in Spanish) amid poplar forests, arable farmland and olive groves. The surrounding countryside, and particularly the pine forest known as Los Pinares, lends itself to outdoor sports and recreational activities, and there is also a long tradition of partridge shooting.
