Overview
Antequera presents a great historical relevance since the earliest settlements in the Paleolithic period took place. Later, it became a very important point during the Medieval time thanks to its busy commercial activity. The city with more churches per capita in Spain shows us a popular and particular architecture of palaces, white houses, convents and monasteries. On top of that we get amazing views of all the city from the collegiate church of Santa María, where you will be able to see the roman archaeological site, the arab fortress and the natural landscape around the mountain Peñón de los Enamorados, which does not leave anyone indifferent with its interesting legend.
We will penetrate deep into history with the visit to the archaeological complex of Antequera’s Dolmens, declared a Cultural Asset and only a few kilometers away there is the Torcal, an unique and karstic natural site, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
During the day you will be accompanied by one of our guides, that not only will take you, but also will explain you important
facts about the places that you will visit to help you understand our history and costumes, during the ride.
