Top 42 things to do and attractions in Antequera

Great place to check out. It took about 3 hours to look at the whole place. This place was a Roman fort, to a Muslim fort to a Christian fort. You can open a web page that gives an audio tour. Get ready for a leg workout because there are a lot of stairs. However, it's worth it. You get to look at how people of that time got to live. Sort of. Quite a bit of it have fallen apart or been destroyed. Not by any battle but maybe someone stealing to build homes or something like it. Either way, the views are unbeatable. I was also surprised how many churches there were. It's like ever ten houses got a church. Over by the church is a roman bath house that is in ruins. You can't get down there anymore, but you can get a good view by the restaurant. If you follow the path to the left under the church, you run into people's houses that are set in a very cool way. I always like to see little places like this.

We liked the setting of the Alcazaba than the palace itself, beautiful views across the city and the countryside, the Alcazaba itself is easy to navigate and explore. The audio guide is free to use on phone but it was a bit too slow for us, the information leaflet given with the ticket was quite helpful to get short snippets of insights. Entrance fee €5 only for the Alcazaba, there are combination tickets available with the church next door. Overall a good visit, easy to get to from the town centre, stunning views all around and I’d certainly recommend it anyone visiting Antequera.

A nice place, full of history, with wonderful views. The courtyard is not well maintained. Very thick walls, interesting history presented in the audio guide, but inside there are only empty spaces, there is not much to see.

Visiting the Alcazaba de Antequera was an incredible experience and one of the highlights of our trip! 🏰 Walking through the ancient gates, we were immediately transported back in time. The fortress is beautifully preserved, with impressive stone walls and towers that speak to its fascinating history. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, overlooking Antequera’s charming streets, the surrounding countryside, and even the distant mountains 😍. It’s the perfect place for stunning photos and to take in the scale of this historic city. We purchased the combined ticket with the Real Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor, which made visiting both sites seamless and great value. The Alcazaba is well signposted, and the audio guide added depth to our visit, sharing stories of battles, rulers, and daily life within the fortress. A must-visit landmark for anyone exploring Antequera — full of history, beauty, and unforgettable views. 🌟

It is definitely worth to see the castle and climb the towers. Views from there are amazing. Not much information is provided, but tourists get a little map with an entrance ticket which is 5 euro per adult. There's a possibility to also see the collegiate but I skipped it. There's a small parking near the entrance if you are brave enough to drive the steep narrow streets.

The superbly well-preserved Alcazaba of Antequera is an impressive medieval fortress overlooking the city of Antequera in the province of Málaga. It was built in the 14th century by the Moors on the site of an earlier Roman fortification. In 1410, it was captured by the Christians, after which the fortifications were partially rebuilt. From here, there is a panoramic view of the city of Antequera and the famous Peña de los Enamorados (“Lovers’ Rock”).

What an incredible Castle this is to visit with so much history and so well presented. Highly recommend seeing this one.

This is an extremely well constructed exhibition centre and everything is very high quality. Sadly there is little detail about the sites. What text there is is difficult to read because of the lighting which is designed to look artistic, rather than to be easily read. The site is fantastic but a small investment in the practicalities would make it even better.

This is an amazing place, really worth a visit. A wonderful museum. Ask at reception to view the video, which will explain the process of the building - an incredible feat of engineering! I actually found it very moving - to imagine our ancestors, who really weren't so very different from us.

If you are an Archeology Buff, this is a must see. We stumbled across it. Free access and does not take much time to visit the three locations. Wish they would open up more in the tombs, but the museum is still interesting and summarizes the history.

A bit disregarded but together with the Tholos a very important historical site; Dolmen of Menga is still as it was a long long time ago! to be visited! no tickets for EU citizens; Unesco site.

Not to be missed. And the information centre is magnificent also. Free but tickets issued, presumably to control numbers.

Interesting place, clean and resourceful . The tombs or Barrows are nice with a lovely a lovely view especially the main one which faces the mountain

An extraordinary place, it is important to watch the video before going to the Dolmen to understand the construction process and its meaning. The Visitor Center area is newly built and still lacks exhibition areas. The staff is very attentive and makes the visit very pleasant.

The pictures im posting show it in-its entirety !! Not that 4€ is alot but this place is empty and void of anything meaningful to see.. yes it is historic and has a story you can read online. But the church has been emptied other than 2 or 3 items . Its a hard pass in my opinion LAST IF YOU DO WANT TO GO GET TICKET FOR ALL 3 sites 8€ total Church, Museum and Alcazaba they dont tell you that Iglesia de San Juan de Dios (free) and more presence

Visiting the Real Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor was like stepping back in time. The breathtaking façade immediately impressed us, and stepping inside to see the towering columns and intricate arches was unforgettable 😍. The whole place has a serene, majestic atmosphere that speaks to centuries of history. We bought the combined ticket with the Alcazaba, which was great value and made it easy to explore both iconic sites in one visit. Inside the church, we discovered fascinating artifacts and historical displays, from ancient stone carvings to religious art that tells the story of Antequera’s rich past. One of the highlights was learning about the Tarasca, a symbolic figure of faith and tradition 🐉. This is a must-see landmark when visiting Antequera — a perfect mix of culture, history, and stunning architecture.

Real Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor This is one of the earliest examples of Renaissance architecture in Andalusia. There isn’t much to see inside, but it is a very neat and atmospheric place with an incredibly beautiful carved ceiling and a statue of the Virgin Mary standing on a seven-headed serpent. In front of the church, there is a monument to the famous local writer Pedro Espinosa. A bit of history: • The collegiate church was founded on the initiative of Bishop Diego Ramírez de Villaescusa. • In 1503, Pope Julius II issued a bull allowing the old church (Santa María de la Esperanza) to be transformed into a collegiate church. • Construction of the current building took place from 1514 to 1550. • Pedro del Campo is considered the original architect. • The church has BIC status (“Bien de Interés Cultural”), meaning it is a cultural heritage site.

We bought the combined ticket for 6 euro - we visited both Acazaba and Colegiata. Church looks great from outside. Inside you can spend 5 - 10 minutes only. The most interesting thing for us was the sculpture of the half lady and half serpent. Other than that, the whole area is worth visiting -Alcazaba, Colegiata, and Arco de los Gigantes. All these places are next to each other.

Interesting church within the old town of Antequera on a strategic hilltop overlooking the entire valley. Free Parking at entrance to Arcos or along street. Can get a combined ticket with Alcazaba next door. Or come on non festival Tuesday’s between 2:00 and 5:30 for free entrance to both!!! Enter the hilltop plaza containing the sites through the large Arcos and continue to the end of the plaza with church on the right. It really is a good visit. Makes a great Antequera day visit with the Dolmens and The El Torcal rock formations! If you are heading back to Málaga, take the scenic route back on A7075 until it connects with A7!

Didn’t go inside but the views from the outside are quite stunning.

This is a great stop if you’re in the area and history/architecture lover. Stunning well preserved church worth the entry fee. You can also buy a combined ticket and walk the nearby alcazaba!

It is the entrance to the ancient Arab medina and the route to the souk. The outer part of the arch features the coat of arms of Fernando I, depicting a lion, a castle, and stargazer lilies.

Not so much the Arch but the afternoon views are great.

Large Gate entrance with Latin tablets leading to plaza with Alcazaba, Roman baths, and Real Colegiata Santa Maria. A must see as part of your visit to Antequera!

Access to the Alcazaba, the Colegiata de Santa Maria la Mayor, and great views Puff your way up the steps of the Cuesta Barbacana hill and at the top is this gateway. Built in the mid-sixteenth century, it gives an interesting view of the Colegiata de Santa Maria la Mayor, now unconsecrated as a church and used for concerts. The precinct - Plaza de los Escribanos - on the other side of the arch shows some very attractive little houses, and a good restaurant. Escribanos - scribes - as this is where the clerics lived and wrote. Once through the arch you can visit either the church or the Alcazaba, or both! Don't forget to show proof of age for the 65+ reduction in the normal entry fee of €3 for each. .

Beautiful place, stunning view in an amazingly incredible city. Strongly recommend spending a few hours around. Look for cafeteria, ask for cafe con hielo and enjoy life

Only anarch No access to inside

A must visit in Antequera. This historic area of this Andalucian town

It was a great museum. It is free all you need to do when entering the museum is to advise what country you have come from. The exhibits are really good and spans a huge time period. The exhibitions were also fascinating. Well worth popping into if you have a spare hour or so.

This was a great provincial museum with the main strength in archeology. The Neolithic, Greek and Roman parts were the best, with the Efebo of Antequera gorgeous. There was an Idol of Fertility and a few Roman busts and animal figurines. The jewelry collection was also outstanding, with emeral being especially prominently present. The building itself is interesting, with the inner courtyard and a great staircase. The paintings are of the local interest. This museum was free at the time of our visit.

An interesting collection of prehistoric and Roman artefacts collected from the region. Not usually keen on religious art and objects, but the Delgado Collection paintings upstairs really are a step up in class and the subdued lighting really shows off their quality. No photography allowed anywhere inside.

Beautiful building in a charming square in the heart of Antequera. Free entry (like so many in Spain) Laid out across four floors the bottom floor contains the pre historic and Roman exhibits. The second is largely Religious paintings/sculptures and gold articles. The third and fourth are devoted to Spanish painters from the 19th and 20th century. They have an exceptional view of a Roman Tomb and a beautiful Roman bronze on the ground floor and other very interesting Pre historic/Bronze and Iron Age finds. Not enough information in English so had to resort to Google translate. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Lovely small museum with art and archeological artefacts from the prehistoric period. Absolutely amazing roman statue of ephebe (I century AD) and Nero bust as well nice. Recommend

Very good small museum covering Archiologie and art works. Went here to avoid the rain and found this to be a a good museum to spend time In especially if the weather is not good.

We happened across this museum while visiting the area. Really nice museum with lots of information about the local area plus lots of paintings by local artists.

A significant religious building in Antequera, it was built in the mid-16th century. The church, dedicated to Saint Sebastian, is known for its architectural blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles.

More atmospheric from the outside than inside. Free entry.

We came across Parroquia San Sebastián while exploring the area and were so glad we stopped by. ⛪ The church is beautifully designed, with a peaceful atmosphere that feels welcoming the moment you step inside. The architecture and details are stunning, and even just pausing outside to admire it is worth the visit. A calm, serene spot that offers a glimpse into the local history and culture — perfect for a quiet moment of reflection during a busy day. 🌟

We came for the Antequera light festival. What a fantastic experience roll on next year.

Our second Christmas in Antequera. Wonderful.

Church that you can see from everywhere . . . Whenever you are admiring a panoramic view of Antequera, you can almost certainly see the tower of the San Sebastian church. It is the most ornate - and I think the tallest - of the towers of the 28, yes 28, churches in the town. You are bound to have a photo of it somewhere among your pictures! At the very top sits the gilded weathervane called the Big Fat Angel - El Angelote. San Sebastian church is slap bang in the middle of Antequera, in the Plaza San Sebastian where we find Kilometre Zero, from where they measure all the distances to other towns. This Plaza, where the main street Calle Infante Don Fernando ends, is important in the life of the town in Holy Week as all the processions (except the one on Tuesday) go through here. The big procession for the San Sebastian Church is the Wednesday one, with the Cofradia del Mayor Dolor. The procession starts at 21.30 at night, and finishes at about 2 the next morning. Another interesting thing on this Wednesday is at lunchtime - 13.30 - when soldiers from the Spanish Foreign Legion carry the statues into the church, ready for that evening's procession. Well worth going to see that if you are in Antequera in Holy Week.

Lovely building. Well worth a wander inside.

They don't update the hours so you might easily waste your time making the trip.

Nice little museum and beautifull church.

Beautiful church and museum

(Translated by Google) Another example of the inexhaustible historical heritage of Antequera. Even after having lived in the city for seven years, I continue to find new corners and angles that awaken you with monumentability (excuse the word) and beauty. In this case, the baroque-style convent-museum-school skillfully plays with a walled front, following the spirit of the neighboring Alcazaba, with the detailed splendor of the interior. It can be accessed by going up from Carretera del Dolmen or better yet by walking along Alameda and Calle Estepa with a mandatory stop at the Church of San Sebastián. After visiting the museum, the Alcazaba and the Collegiate Church are just 10 minutes away, although it is difficult, but the effort is rewarded. There are numerous restaurants in the adjacent plazas of Viagas and San Sebastián. If you can, and are not afraid of crowds, a recommended visit on Holy Monday or Corpus Christi (Original) Otro ejemplo del inagotable patrimonio histórico de Antequera. Incluso tras haber vivido siete años en la ciudad, sigo encontrando rincones y ángulos nuevos que te despiertan a golpe de monumentabilidad (disculpen el palabro) y belleza. En este caso, el convento-museo-colegio de estilo barroco juego hábilmente con un frontal amurallado, siguiendo el espíritu de la vecina Alcazaba, con el esplendor detallista del interior. Se puede acceder subiendo desde la Carretera del Dolmen o mejor aún paseando por la Alameda y la Calle Estepa con parada obligatoria en la Iglesia de San Sebastián. Tras visitar el museo, la Alcazaba y la Colegiata están a tan solo 10 minutos, eso sí de cuesta, pero el esfuerzo de ve recompensado. Hay numeroso restaurantes en las plazas anejas de Viagas y San Sebastián. Si podéis, y no temes a las multitudes, visita recomendada en Lunes Santo o Corpus

(Translated by Google) It's a religious art museum located within the San José Convent, run by cloistered nuns of the Discalced Carmelite Order. Sweets made by them are available for purchase. (Original) Es un museo de arte religioso dentro del convento San José y a cargo de monjas de clausura de la orden de las Carmelitas descalzas. Se pueden comprar dulces hechos por ellas.

(Translated by Google) It cannot be allowed that they do not put air conditioning in the middle of August and with a heat wave (Original) No puede consentirse que no pongan aire acondicionado en pleno agosto y con una hola de calor

(Translated by Google) You absolutely must try their magnificent sweets, shortbreads, and almond cookies, all handmade. Divine! (Original) No te puedes perder sus magníficos dulces, mantecados y polvorones hechos de forma artesanal. Divinos!!!

There are two man made cave megaliths on this site. Then, a third just a short walk up the hill in another location. After that, you should go up the hill to the castle (alcazaba). It's a little under 20 bucks and self paced with an audio tour off of a website to listen to when you get to certain stations. It takes less than a day to do it all. It was very good as a day trip. This site, they are not sure who built them. Aliens and giants are theorized by conspiracy theorists, which i find wonderfully hilarious. They do know the romans wrote about it as though they found it. The Romans may also be the builders of the well in the Menga cave. They are also not fully excavated. The first one you run across (don't remember its name) has golfball holes drilled into the rocks. They believed it was to commemorate a funeral. The bodies were brought into the cave first, then carried out to be buried or burned. The Menga cave does not have these markings. Both face the mountain that looks like a face looking towards the sky. It had significance for each group that lived there. From the pre-Romans, to the Romans, to the Muslims, to the Christians, and even to today's locals. We couldn't figure out what face mountain was called. Technically, there are two face mountains, but who's counting. You can also drive to the right of face mountain, and there is an abandoned town, but we could figure out how to get to it. The roads that seem to go to it are through a farmers' olive orchard, and that's just rude to drive through. So we took some photos from the road. For the navy folk, this is about 2.5 hours from Rota.

If you like local history, this is worth a rest stop. It's free, you do have to go in to the museum to get your free tickets and tell where your from, but that gives you access to nice toilets to. We didn't spend much time here, but it was a nice rest and a great walk around the museum and out to the toms.

This is a fabulous UNESCO world heritage site that for me was a must see site in Antequera. Going back almost 6000 years Dolmens de Menga was the most impressive. The modern museum was good and you have to go there first to get your free ticket to visit both Dolmen on this site. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Antequera.

Amazing stuff to see. Huge rock blocks used to make this structure. And a great use of the landscape. Totally free and great museum building

Original Dolmen, one of the most ancient, found as it is now. Absolutely worth a visit! Very kind staff, no entrance tickets for European Community Citizens; check for opening hours on internet

Great stop if you are passing through or are into prehistoric times. It’s all free and the views and staff are great. We were there the day after winter solstice so the atmosphere was amazing and symmetry magical visually. They also had a concert happening.

I sort of feel I ought to give four stars 🌟 , it is a UNESCO World Heritage, but it is frankly not particularly impressive. We stopped by on our way to Rute, it was a nice break, but otherwise nothing much to write home about. Perhaps a keen student of neolithic / prehistoric Spain 🇪🇸 will see it differently, but as a plain tourist .... Entrance is free of charge, but don't forget to go to the museum first to pick up your free tickets.

One of the most important religious buildings in Antequera, it was built in the 17th century. The church is characterized by beautiful Baroque-style decorations and intricate details, with particularly valuable altar paintings.

A beautiful church! The altar is amazing. The craftsmanship with all the woodwork is mind blowing!

Arguably the most beautiful church in Spain, must visit if you pass near Antequera

Beautiful interior that is worth a visit.

El Carmen is a beautiful church to visit the main sanctuary is stunning.

Beautiful small church with a lot of impressive statues and gold. Entrance fee is 2 euro, no (credit) cards accepted.

Don’t miss this! Fantastic baroque altar carved from red pine with polychome figures. The location is also fantastic, with views all around.

Lovely church in Antequera. We come here to buy what we call our 'naughty nun's treats' - traditional biscuits, cakes and sweets made by the sisters and sold through a little window just beyond the convent doors.

Beautiful convent church also able to buy home made cakes from the nuns in the convent.

Beautiful, but rain stopped semana santa procession

Expectacular...

Breathtaking

The sisters run the place and all proceeds from cake sales etc go to fund the upkeep, nice to see.

(Translated by Google) After checking the opening hours, I went there. Unfortunately, the church was not open to visitors as it was being prepared for Easter. The only items available for sale were sweets, which are very popular with tourists, judging by the queues that form at the entrance. Published on 22 April 25 (Original) Após ter consultado o horário de atendimento ao público, dirigi-me para o local, infelizmente a igreja não estava visitável, por estar a ser preparada para a Páscoa, apenas estava disponível a venda de doces, que têm muito sucesso entre os turistas, a crer nas filas que se formam à entrada.

Beautiful small church

Built in the late 16th century, this is one of the main parish churches in Antequera. It is dedicated to St. James the Apostle, the disciple of Jesus Christ and the patron saint of Spain. The exterior is simple, but the interior is decorated with an elaborate gilded altarpiece.

(Translated by Google) Small but very beautiful church, both inside and out and located in a very charming square. The church of Santiago was erected as a hermitage in 1519, and since 1822 it has served as a parish. The temple that has come down to us must be from the mid-18th century, (Original) Iglesia pequeña pero muy bonita, tanto por dentro como por fuera y situada en una plaza con mucho encanto. La iglesia de Santiago se erige como ermita en el año 1519, y desde 1822 hace las funciones de parroquia. El templo que ha llegado a nosotros debe ser de mediados del siglo XVIII,

(Translated by Google) The church of Santiago dates back to 1519, and since 1822 it has served as a parish. The temple that has come down to us must date from the mid-18th century, and may have been the work of the builder Cristóbal García. The interior is simple, with a single nave covered with a half-barrel vault and a main chapel with a half-orange. In the main altarpiece there is the chapel of the Virgin of Health, a rococo space of white and curly plasterwork made in 1765. The image of the Virgin is from the 17th century and is located on a gilded wooden temple. The rest of the church is decorated with tempera paintings imitating curtains and other motifs. Inside we can see the virgin of work. In the sacristy, pieces of highly valuable metalwork are kept. (Original) La iglesia de Santiago data del año 1519, y desde 1822 hace las funciones de parroquia. El templo que ha llegado a nosotros debe ser de mediados del siglo XVIII, pudiendo ser obra del alarife Cristóbal García. El interior es sencillo, de una sola nave cubierta con bóveda de medio cañón y capilla mayor con media naranja. En el retablo mayor se abre el camarín de la Virgen de la Salud, espacio rococó de blancas y rizadas yeserías realizado en el año 1765. La imagen de la Virgen es del siglo XVII y se ubica sobre un templete de madera dorada. El resto de la iglesia se encuentra decorada con pinturas al temple imitando cortinajes y otros motivos. En su interior podemos ver la virgen del trabajo. En la sacristía se guardan piezas de orfebrería de gran valor.

Peaceful..

(Translated by Google) It was built as a simple chapel in 1519. The current temple dates from the mid-18th century. Its exterior is very interesting, with a kind of covered porch and bell tower. Inside, the niche of the Virgin of Health stands out, a rococo space in white stucco. The walls are decorated with tempera paintings imitating curtains and other motifs. The symbol of the Order of Santiago can be found in several places in the church. Also in the streets of Antequera, you can find shells and yellow arrows indicating the Camino de Santiago. Come and see for yourself. Published on 18 Apr 25 (Original) Foi erguida como uma simples ermida em 1519. O templo atual data de meados do século XVIII. O seu exterior é muito interessante, com uma espécie de varanda coberta e campanário. No interior destaca-se o nicho da Virgem da Saúde, um espaço rococó de estuque branco. As paredes são decoradas com pinturas em têmpera imitando cortinas e outros motivos. O símbolo da Ordem de Santiago encontra-se em vários pontos da Igreja. Também nas ruas de Antequera se encontram as conchas e as setas amarelas indicando o Caminho de Santiago. Venha conhecer. Publicado a 18abr25

(Original) Bonita Iglesia, con un bonito altar y bien decorada. El templo está junto a otros edificios religiosos y forma un conjunto muy atractivo.

Amazing place . Has nice café/ bar. Worth a look round . Thankfully no bulls when I visited

Interesting place to see with free entry. You can just sit around and observe the former arena. There's also a restaurant there. (As I understand it, there are thankfully no bull fights anymore.)

Lovely pretty area until we came across this bullfighting ring that is still active certain times of the year.This has put me off ever coming here again.A blood sport that should be outdated and banned 👎😡

Free entry. Have a restaurant in it. I saw no official person and no other visitor on a Tuesday afternoon. Got into seating area, and also area for keeping bulls and area for keeping horses, which were vacant, but a bit smelly.

Interesting place. There is a restaurant at the stadium now. You can see the arena for free.

Inside the bullring was amazing to see. We had lunch there, the restaurant offers delicious food, good variety at a good price. It was a lovely location and we look forward to our next visit.

Just a look inside. Sometimes the younger are training there

Beautiful well maintained building that is worth a walk around to explore its interesting and flexible architecture.

Well worth a visit to this church

awesome !

(Translated by Google) I have been lucky to finally find this Church open. Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, it has undergone many renovations over time. Old Church of the Franciscan Convent. The Baroque style Church has a magnificent Camarin de la Virgen del Socorro with a spectacular glory of angels. (Original) He tenido suerte por fin de encontrar esta Iglesia abierta. Construida en los siglos XVI y XVII, ha sufrido muchas reformas a lo largo del tiempo. Antigua Iglesia del Convento Franciscano.

A magnificent picturesque cathedral seen only from the outside

(Translated by Google) In the city of Antequera there are many churches, temples and imposing buildings. This small church is, despite its size, a beautiful temple. Very well cared for. Both its exterior and interior have a special splendor, which is worth visiting. (Original) En la ciudad de Antequera hay muchas iglesias, templos y edificaciones imponentes.

It was an unforgettable experience. So much beauty! I noticed the waning moon, next to the Virgin of Socorro, but they explained to me that it signifies the purity of the Virgin. Come and see.

(Translated by Google) The Convent of Victory belonged to the Minimum Friars of San Francisco de Paula, who abandoned it after the Confiscation, and is currently occupied by the Congregation of Tertiary Religious Sisters, founded by Mother Carmen del Niño Jesús from Antequera. The Convent of Victory was built between 1712 and 1718. The church is very interesting in its layout and elevation. Its façade is made of ashlar stone, highlighting its central and lateral balcony, which give it the appearance of a civil building. Its interior is very interesting, presenting a very elaborate central floor model, and its spatial structure is relatively complex, which causes confusion in the viewer. The dressing room preserves its primitive plasterwork from the beginning of the 18th century. The Convent of Victory is also known for the chapel and museum of the Blessed Mother Carmen of the Child Jesus that is housed inside. (Original) El Convento de la Victoria perteneció a los Frailes Mínimos de San Francisco de Paula, que lo abandonaron tras la Desamortización, y está ocupado en la actualidad por la Congregación de Religiosas Terciarias, fundada por la antequerana Madre Carmen del Niño Jesús. El Convento de la Victoria se realizó entre 1712 y 1718. La iglesia es interesantísima en su disposición de planta y alzado. Su fachada está realizada en piedra de sillería, destacando su volado balcón central y los laterales, que le dan un aspecto de edificio civil. Su interior es muy interesante, presentando un modelo de planta central muy elaborado, y su estructura espacial resulta relativamente compleja por lo que produce desconcierto en el espectador. El camarín conserva sus primitivas yeserías de comienzos del siglo XVIII. El Convento de la Victoria se conoce también por la capilla y museo de la Beata Madre Carmen del Niño Jesús que alberga en su interior

(Translated by Google) Spectacular prayer atmosphere with welcoming nuns who also sing like the Angels themselves... if you close your eyes when they sing, you really believe you are in Heaven. The temple is beautiful and well cared for. On weekdays (except the summer months) the Holy Mass is at 07.30 AM. (Original) Espectacular ambiente de oración con unas monjas acogedoras que además cantan como los mismos Ángeles ... si cierra uno los ojos cuando cantan, realmente cree estar en el Cielo.

Basically, it's the first viewpoint you can access for free. Wonderful views of the Antequera. In general, 3 euro entrance to see Alcazaba, 6 euro if you add entrance to the Colegiata. We bought the combined ticket for 6 euro - we visited both Acazaba and Colegiata. It took us 1 hour to see everything. There is an audio guide that you can download on your phone. Must see in Antequera. Alcazaba, Colegiata, and Arco de los Gigantes - all these places are next to each other. There are several viewpoints. Depending on where you are standing. Free parking is close by.

Absolutely beautiful and seems not very crowded city! Hidden gem in Andalusia. Many viewpoints all around the city

Beautiful view of this place. Wikipedia says the following about Antequera: Due to its strategic position in transport and communications, with four airports located approximately one hour away and the railway running from the Port of Algeciras, Antequera is emerging as an important centre of transportation logistics, with several industrial parks, and the new Logistics Centre of Andalusia (Centro Logístico de Andalucía).

Stunning views! Highly recommend

View is very nice. Difficult to park

Good view

EXPECTACULAR

Delighted we decided to visit this site. Of course we have a similar site called Newgrange. It's about a 45 minute walk from the motorhome Aire. The visit was free once you picked your ticket up at the museum. There are some rooms to visit there which are very interesting. Once we walked to the dolmen we had a lovely history chat with the woman guarding one of them. Highly recommend a visit.

This place is incredible!!! Part of an archeological site. This is a must visit if you are planning to visit Andalucía. One of the most fascinating Dolmen I have seen 😍😍😍

Really precise construction, totally different technique than the other dolmens. Worth a visit since it only takes a few minutes to see.

Fabulous third burial site in Antiquera.

Worth a visit, no costs at all for EU citizens, staff was so nice to wait for us even after closing time, there are two different sites, 10 minutes driving distances, Tholos de Romeral and Dolmens de Antequera (Dolmen the Menga)

Free parking, with free entry to an amazing historical site! What's not to like.. Staff are very friendly and helpful also. Allow 30 minutes for the visit.

The newest of the three discovered Dolmen in the area, when you tie all three together, it's exciting to see the progression of human thinking and what was important to them before metal, and after they begin to work with copper.

A corridor tomb built between approximately 3,500 BCE and the early Bronze Age. Its entrance is perfectly aligned with the east, corresponding to the rising sun during the equinoxes, demonstrating the advanced astronomical knowledge of prehistoric builders. Human remains, along with pottery and stone tools, were found inside.

found this on Google and decided to visit on the way to Ronda. glad we did as its a nice little hour trip. the narration in the museum is worth a listen to hear the history of the site. it's as old as my ma. she laughed when I said that. it's free too.

Not much to see. Of course impressive how at the copper age they built this but you see two tombs with nothing in them. At least it's free. The museum is also uninteresting. A video explaining everything would be more useful.

The smallest of 3 of them beautiful Dolmen Viera was built about 2400 years BC. Must see

A smaller dolmen, but still incredible to see and experience.

So amazing! And it’s free ticket to visit. But recommended to visit like early in the morning of a bit afternoon if it’s summer.

This dolmen is tiny. You walk in, turn around and walk out seconds later.

(Translated by Google) Very famous for its altarpiece and its decoration, both exceptional. The photos are the best argument for visiting. Be sure to check the very short opening hours near the tourist office. Free. (Original) Très célèbre pour son retable et sa décoration, tous les deux exceptionnel. Les photos sont le meilleur argument de visite. Bien vérifier les heures d'ouverture, très réduites, près de l'office de tourisme. Gratuit.

(Translated by Google) This is a true work of art. I advise anyone visiting Antequera not to leave without seeing it. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but once you step inside, the central altar hits you and takes you in. Truly beautiful, beautiful. (Original) Esto es una auténtica obra de arte, aconsejo a todo aquel que visite Antequera que no se vaya sin visitarla. Por fuera parece que no va a ser gran cosa pero una vez que entras te pega de golpe el altar central y te hace suyo, preciosa de verdad, preciosa.

(Translated by Google) Perhaps it may be the most beautiful church in Antequera. Cruciform silver with barrel vaults. Lleseria and decoration of its walls that enchant its quantity and variety. Rich baroque altars with precious images or paintings. Spectacular and original choir and organs. (Original) Quizás pueda ser la iglesia más bonita de Antequera. Plata cruciforme con bóvedas de cañón. Lleseria y decoración de sus muros que encanta su cantidad y variedad. Altares de rico barroco con imágenes o cuadros preciosos. Coro y órganos expectaculares y originales.

(Translated by Google) The Church of the Remedies belonged to the convent of the Third Franciscans, the current Town Hall. The plan of the Church is a Latin cross, with naves and side chapels, presenting a flat head. The central nave, higher than the side naves, is covered with a half-barrel vault. The dome of the transept is half orange. Tempera paintings cover the entire temple. A beautiful and spectacular baroque main altarpiece houses the Virgen de los Remedios in the Camarin. I had the opportunity to attend the procession of the Virgen de los Remedios because it was their holiday. (Original) La Iglesia de los Remedios, perteneció al convento de los Franciscanos Terceros, actual Ayuntamiento. La planta de la Iglesia es de cruz latina, con naves y capillas laterales, presentando cabecera plana. La nave central, más alta que las laterales, se cubre con bóveda de medio cañón. La cúpula del crucero es de media naranja. Las pinturas al temple cubren todo el templo. Un hermoso y espectacular retablo mayor, barroco, acoge en el Camarin a la Virgen de los Remedios. Tuve ocasión de asistir a la procesión de la Virgen de los Remedios por ser su festividad.

(Translated by Google) We find ourselves in front of a magnificent temple from the 17th century and in the Baroque style, whose works began in 1628. It is dedicated to the Virgin of Remedies. The interior of the building stands out especially, which is profusely decorated, mainly its High Altar. The decoration of its vaulted ceilings is also very notable. Another point that draws attention is that the front door to the street gives access to an interior patio with a portico with columns, in a typically Andalusian style. In this beautiful patio is the entrance to the church. (Original) Nos encontramos ante un magnifico templo del siglo XVII y de estilo barroco, cuyas obras se iniciaron en el año 1628. Esta dedicado a la Virgen de los Remedios. Destaca especialmente el interior del edificio, que esta profusamente decorado, fundamentalmente su Altar Mayor. Tambien es muy destacable la decoracion de sus techos abovedados. Otro de los puntos que llaman la atencion, es que la puerta de la fachada a la calle, da acceso a un patio interior porticado con columnas, de estilo tipicamente andaluz. En este precioso patio esta la entrada a la iglesia.

(Translated by Google) As a Catholic, it is a tremendous emotion to have known this beautiful temple. One feels the peace and presence of God within oneself. But also, I was pleasantly dazzled by how impressive the work was and how well preserved it is. A temple that, regardless of the religion one professes, must be visited. (Original) Como católico, es una emoción tremenda haber conocido este templo hermoso. Uno siente la paz y la presencia de Dios dentro del mismo. Pero además, quedé gratamente deslumbrado por lo impresionante de la obra y lo bien conservada que está. Un templo, que más allá de la religión que uno profese, debe ser visitado.

Interesting building

My local bar for 10 years. Excellent food and friendly staff

It is a lovely square with historic buildings surrounding it.

a wonderful place!!!

(Translated by Google) It stands out from everything else I saw in Antequera because of its originality. The chapel is Baroque-Mudejar in style, with brick and limestone as the predominant building materials. An image of the Virgin of Help was placed on the upper part for popular veneration. Now, what I don't understand is how this chapel can function as a motorcycle parking lot and a café terrace. Can anyone explain this to me? Behind the chapel there is an excellent viewpoint of the walls and part of the city. Published on 27 Apr 25. (Original) Destaca-se de tudo o que vi em Antequera pela sua originalidade. O estilo da capela é o Barroco-Mudéjar, com o predomínio do tijolo e da pedra calcária como materiais construtivos. Na parte superior foi colocado uma imagem da Virgem do Socorro para a veneração popular. Agora, o que não entendo é como esta capela pode funcionar como estacionamento para motos e esplanada de café, alguém me consegue explicar? Atrás da Capela existe um excelente miradouro para as muralhas e parte da cidade. Publicado a 27abr25.

(Translated by Google) Great place. Authentic atmosphere. Authentic Spanish food. I'll be back! The portions are large and perfect! (Original) Świetne miejsce. Autentyczny klimat. Hiszpańskie autentyczne jedzenie. Wrócę tam ! Porcję są duże i idealne !!!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church next to the convent. Octagonal in plan with images and altarpiece from the 27th century. It is worth the visit because of how well preserved it is. (Original) Preciosa iglesia junto al convento. De planta octogonal con imágenes y retablo del siglo XXVII. Merece la pena la visita por lo bien conservada que está.

(Translated by Google) The Convent of Santa Eufemia, of Minimum Religious consecrated to Saint Eufemia, co-patron of the city of Antequera, was founded in the year 1601. The Convent of Santa Eufemia was built between 1739 and 1763. Externally it presents a graceful interplay of volumes and roofs, highlighting as a singular note the belfry and the suspended dressing room of the titular Saint. Its octagonal plan has a great development in height, remaining hidden in its lower façade bodies due to the attached volumes. The main chapel is crowned with a rococo-style plasterwork dome. Inside the Convent of Santa Eufemia you can visit the Museum dedicated to Santa Eufemia. (Original) El Convento de Santa Eufemia, de Religiosas Mínimas consagrado a Santa Eufemia, copatrona de la ciudad de Antequera, se fundó en el año 1601. El Convento de Santa Eufemia se levantó entre 1739 y 1763. Exteriormente presenta un gracioso juego de volúmenes y tejados, destacando como nota singular la espadaña y el camarín suspendido de la Santa titular. Su planta octogonal tiene un gran desarrollo en altura, quedando oculta en sus cuerpos bajos de fachada debido a los volúmenes adosados. La capilla mayor esta coronada con una cupulita de yeserías de estilo rococó. En el interior del Convento de Santa Eufemia se puede visitar el Museo dedicado a Santa Eufemia.

(Translated by Google) Lovely. To see without a doubt. It leaves you speechless. (Original) Preciosa. Para ver sin duda alguna. Te deja sin palabras.

(Translated by Google) I enjoy buildings made by people without the technology and machines we have today. Therefore, everything that was done was done by hand and with the help of, for our times, primitive tools. When you enter the monastery from the hustle and bustle of the city, you suddenly find yourself in a completely different environment. As if you entered another world. The peace and quiet that is disturbed only by the murmur of tourists, decorated walls, ceilings and glass surfaces and altars decorated to the smallest detail, all this gives the monastery that something for which thousands of tourists come to it. (Original) Uživam u zgradama koje su napravili ljudi bez tehnike i strojeva koje danas imamo. Dakle, sve što je učinjeno, učinjeno je rukama i uz pomoć, za naše prilike, primitivnih pomagala. Kada iz gradske vreve uđete u samostan, odjednom se nađete u jednom sasvim drugom okružju. Kao da ste ušli u neki drugi svijet. Mir i tišina koju remeti samo žamor turista, ukrašeni zidovi, plafoni i staklene površine i do sitnih detalja ukrašeni oltari, sve to daje samostanu ono nešto zbog čega u njega dolaze tisuće turista.

(Translated by Google) Consecrated to the patron saint of the city, this monastery was founded in 1601, although the church was built between 1739 and 1763. Its exterior presents the same sobriety as other Antequera monuments. Inside there is the image of the patron saint and two altarpieces with some interest: the largest and that of the Virgin of Sorrows. (Original) Consagrado a la patrona de la ciudad, este monasterio se fundó en 1601, aunque la iglesia se levantó entre 1739 y 1763. Su exterior presenta la misma sobriedad que otros monumentos antequeranos. En el interior se encuentra la imagen de la patrona y dos retablos con cierto interés: el mayor y el de la Virgen de los Dolores.

Seen the advertising board outside while passing. Menu del dia for €15. We were the only people there. We weren't really sure what dishes were coming to the table but made sure we got different ones and shared each dish. The starters, a cold type soup was really good and an egg with bread crumbs was ok. The mains, a meat wrap deep fried was nice and I wanted to try this dish for a while and an egg in a ratatouille style soup was ok but not very filling for a main. The desserts, were two chocolate type dishes which of course you can't go wrong with chocolate. The glass of red wine was lovely but the bread was stale. Overall a lovely experience to eat in the bullring and view all the pictures on the walls.

What an amazing place! Visiting the area, stopped here with my boyfriend for lunch and was so impressed with the food and service! I had the delicious duck and my boyfriend had the veal and pork skewers, both outstanding! Our waiter, Leo, has been great, always checking on us, very attentive and friendly also. Loved our experience at this restaurant!

We only got beers, they were just okay. The staff was very 'Spanish' 😅 as in very laid back and slow, but then again we were the only customers there. Too bad the restaurant isn't with a view of the bullring, it's just a normal average place.

Very nice restaurant in the old bull ring of the town. Food was delicious and it has Michelin recommended status. A little pricey compared to some others but this did take the food up a few notches, nice for a treat. Menu in English although the staffs English was limited. The lambs leg stuffed with OX tail was exceptional

Faultless, amazing Andalucían food with a brilliant contemporary twist. The service is a perfect blend of attentive but discrete. You can visit the bar for a quick snack or experience the full-on vibe of the restaurant, either way you can't go wrong.

This restaurant is amazing and really gives an insight to historic times and Spanish culture. The staff are incredibly friendly and the food is great. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. 👍

It was unbelievable but I was waiting for almost half an hour although the waiter saw me, and even showed the place where to sit. Terrible attitude, very disappointed about it, so please think twice if to have there a lunch or something.

(Translated by Google) I gave it a good score, let's see if they give me a good prize 😂😂 (Original) Le he dado buena puntuación,aver si me dan un buen premio 😂😂

(Translated by Google) Its construction dates back to the second half of the 16th century, although the Palace of the Marquises of the Peña de los Enamorados has undergone various renovations and additions throughout its existence. It presents seven axes of openings on the outside, with bars on the ground floor and balconies on the main floor, ending in an attic or overlook, which was added modernly. The towers follow the Antequera model. Inside, very little of the original layout is preserved, due to the fire suffered during the Civil War. The Palace of the Marquises of the Peña de los Enamorados is currently the headquarters of the Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Carmen in Antequera, Málaga. (Original) Su construcción corresponde a la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, aunque el Palacio de los Marqueses de la Peña de los Enamorados ha sufrido distintas reformas y añadidos a lo largo de su existencia. Presenta al exterior siete ejes de huecos, con rejas en planta baja y balcones en la principal, rematándose en un ático o sobrado, que se le añadió modernamente. Las torres siguen el modelo antequerano. Interiormente se conserva muy poco de la disposición primitiva, debido al incendio sufrido durante la Guerra Civil. El Palacio de los Marqueses de la Peña de los Enamorados actualmente es la sede del Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Carmen en Antequera, Málaga.

Beautiful nature, way up was fine. There are also quite some parking spots all the way up. We have been there on a Friday in September around 17h30, and where done after a good hour (green track). Recommending for everybody who is curious and likes views 😍

Beautiful Hiking Area! We have been doing this Tour at the beginning of the year in January. The Weather was perfectly fine. You should bring good shoes as some parts might be a bit slippery. But overall the paths are quite good to walk at. We did bring our Dogs but they must be on the leash all time as you might spot Capricorns just around you in between the rocks. The Landscape is just breathtaking and beautiful. Definitely a Must-See place here in Andalusia!

Absolutely fantastic area. Other worldly and incredibly scenic. You can drive right out to the visitor center where there is ample parking. The road there is surprisingly well serviced and wide enough for vehicles to pass each other. Lots of different routes to take when hiking different environments and difficulty levels from wide flat pathways to clambering over ancient rock formations. My six-year-old son had an absolute blast, exploring and climbing.

Lovely prehistoric place, you can park on the Visitors Center open until 17:00 hrs, have a drink and a bite, use the toilet and begin your journey. There's 3 routes you can take, green, orange and yellow. Orange is a direct line go and come back and the other 2 are circular. We took the medium one and walked around 2.5 hrs taking many pauzes it was 32° when we were there at 18 hrs but luckily we had a wonderful wind to cool us off, we could enjoy the view, admiring the place where you can find fossils, wild goats and many birds. Amazing to see, a must to do when you visit Malaga. We will come back again and will take another route.

Very spectacular park. The yellow route is moderate and suitable for most people. We also did orange rout, that was a bit harder: the carved road was smaller and sometimes a bit harder to find. Advise: use "alltrails" as app to geolocate the route. The visitor cetre has a restaurant with enough choices. Come early: before 10AM so you can park at the main parking area. When full many people park down the road, but you will get fined. Police is checking on regular base.

Absolutely beautiful place. There is a couple hiking trails you can take and a few view points that are not too far away. There is free parking available, there is a small cafe with a picnic area inside and out as well as a small souvenir shop.

Great walk around one of the trails, there are 3 official trails… although there are other areas that could be seen and have no information… just visual trails where people have ventured off themselves! Well worth the visit!

. The Puerta de Granada - the way to Granada. This archway dating back to the mid 18th-century, although having its upper section renovated and changed subsequently, marks the place where the road to Granada originally entered - or left - the town of Antequera. Slightly out of the way, but in a pleasant position near a little park overlooking the river, you can reach it on the way back from visiting the Dolmenes. Leaving the Dolmenes site going back towards the town, you come almost immediately to a crossroads with a triangular flowerbed in the centre. the road straight ahead leads up hill, you take the street to the left and follow it round. You soon come, on your left, to a wide esplanade viewpoint (although the view over the little river is nothing much to write home about), with those "playground Fitness machines for grown-ups" that the Spanish are so fond of. Just a few yards further on is the Arch. On its first side it has a statue of Our lady of Rocio, on the other the Town coat of arms. On top is a wrought-iron structure which seemed at first sight be a weathervane, but that I then realised was an ornate cross. Unlike the Puerta de Estepa, it has only one arch. You can walk but not drive through it - there is a brick pavement with a step up to prevent crazy drivers trying to do just that!. .

This gate leads from Antequera to Granada. During the medieval period, it played an important role in the wars between the Kingdom of Castile and the Nasrid Kingdom.

(Translated by Google) Among the beautiful corners of Antequera, its Granada Gate stands out, which together with its viewpoint form visual postcards of the city. Furthermore, this gate continues to be part of the road to the capital of Granada. (Original) Entre los preciosos rincones de Antequera es destacable su puerta de Granada que junto a su mirador conforman postales visuales de la ciudad. Además esta puerta sigue formando parte del camino hacia la capital granadina.

(Translated by Google) This is another gate that Antequera has, in this case it is the old exit/entrance to Granada, it has been altered over time, which is not surprising, time leaves its mark on everything... Nearby is a beautiful garden with a viewpoint. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the panoramic view of the city and surrounding mountains. Published on 18 Apr 25 (Original) É mais uma porta que Antequera possui, neste caso é a antiga saída/entrada para Granada, foi alterada ao longo do tempo, o que não é de admirar, o tempo deixa marcas em tudo... Próximo está um belo jardim com miradouro. Não perca a oportunidade de desfrutar da vista panorâmica para a cidade e montanhas envolventes. Publicado a 18abr25

(Translated by Google) Nice arch and nice views from the attached balcony. It is a very picturesque enclave where you can also park easily to start the route through Antequera. (Original) Bonito arco y bonitas vistas desde el balcón anexo. Es un enclave muy pintoresco donde ademas se puede aparcar fácilmente para iniciar la ruta por Antequera.

(Translated by Google) Visiting the city of Antequera, since we didn't see the Puerta Grande (Main Gate), it marks the beginning of our journey into Antequera, forming part of the road to Granada. There's easy parking and a viewpoint next to the gate. The panoramic views are well worth seeing. (Original) Visitando esta ciudad de Antequera , como no vimos la Puerta Grande , da comienzo a entrar en Antequera, formando parte del camino a cia Granada . Con fácil aparcamiento y un mirador anexo a esta puerta . Merece la pena ver sus vistas panorámicas..

(Translated by Google) If from Michael Hoskin's viewpoint we see a landscape painting of Antequera from above, from the Granada Gate we can contemplate the beauty of Antequera from the plain and we are presented with another perspective of the town, more colorful, fresh and summery. (Original) Si desde el mirador de Michael Hoskin vemos un cuadro apaisado de Antequera desde lo alto, desde la Puerta de Granada podemos contemplar la belleza de Antequera desde el llano y se nos presenta otra perspectiva del pueblo, más colorida, fresca y veraniega.

. A pleasant place to sit and ponder. Just round the corner from the Parador and the Bullring is this quiet little garden decorated by a large statue of Jesus. In January the orange trees were groaning with fruit; in March/April the perfume of the orange blossom will fill the air. Don't be tempted to try and eat the oranges, however. All through Andalucia the oranges on trees in public spaces are bitter. Presumably to stop precocious picking,leaving them to look pretty on the trees. There are a large number of benches to choose from, so as in the bullring you can usually choose Sol or Sombra: Sun or Shade. .

(Translated by Google) A nice park to take a walk, disconnect and relax. (Original) Un bonito parque para dar un paseo, desconectar y relajarse.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful park with a view of the valley ☺️👌 and the mountains. Unfortunately a bit unkempt 😔 (Original) Ein schöner Park mit Aussicht auf das Tal ☺️👌und die Berge. Leider etwas ungepflegt 😔

(Translated by Google) The park itself is nice, but it is quite neglected. The ground is quite deteriorated with holes in some parts. The large fountain does not work, which if it did would give a much better impression than when it is dry. The one about drinking water doesn't work. It needs some repairs, putting in new plants and trimming the hedges. For a walk it's fine but don't expect much. (Original) El parque en sí es bonito, pero está bastante descuidado. El suelo está bastante deteriorado con hoyos en algunas partes. La fuente grande no funciona, que si lo hiciera daría mucha mejor impresión que al cómo se encuentra seca. La de beber agua no funciona. Le hace falta algunos arreglos, poner plantas nuevas y podar los setos. Para dar un paseo está bien pero no te esperes gran cosa.

(Translated by Google) Very suitable place to rest body and soul. It is cozy and quiet, ideal for sitting surrounded by cypress trees and reading a book. Also ideal for children to play freely without fear of cars since it is a closed area flanked by a spectacular metal gate. It gives it a French style feel. In the center is a very tall Heart of Jesus. And now comes the bad thing about this place... Behind the Corazón de Jesús there is a beautiful balcony from where, supposedly, you can contemplate a magnificent visit to the famous Vega de Antequera and La Peña de Los Enamorados. But the only thing you can see is a large white tent that covers all vision. I'm sorry you missed a very spectacular view. (Original) Lugar muy propicio para descansar cuerpo y alma. Es acogedor y tranquilo idóneo para sentarse rodeado de cipreses y leer un libro. También ideal para que los niños jueguen libremente sin temor a los coches ya que es un recinto cerrado flanqueado por una espectacular cancela metálica. Le da un aire a estilo francés. En el centro se ubica un altísimo Corazón de Jesús. Y ahora viene lo malo de este lugar... Detrás del Corazón de Jesús existe un hermoso balcón desde donde, supuestamente, poder contemplar una magnífica visita de las famosas Vega de Antequera y La Peña de Los Enamorados. Pero lo único que puedes ver es una gran carpa blanca que tapa toda la visión. Lo siento pues os perdéis una muy espectacular vista.

(Translated by Google) The park is very beautiful, but the hedges are unpruned in many individual gardens, under the statue of Jesus there is a garden with bushes coming out, and from other angles it is empty, the fountain whose bottom is painted blue is always empty. With a more consistent lawn service would be better. (Original) El parque es muy bonito,pero los setos están sin podar en muchos jardines individuales,bajo la estatua de Jesús hay un jardín que salen los arbustos,y por otros ángulos está vacío,la fuente cuyo fondo está pintada de azul está siempre vacía.Con un servicio de jardinería más constante estaría mejor.

(Translated by Google) I couldn't get in, it's a shame and also with the number of churches in Antequera you can't see more than half, they are closed, it's impossible to catch them open, it's a shame the hours that some advertise are not, because I went for several days and nothing was closed, a shame. Beautiful Antequera, I loved it, I will return❤️❤️❤️ (Original) No pude entrar una pena y ademas con la cantidad de iglesias que hay en Antequera no se pueden ver mas de la mitad estan cerradas imposible pillarlas abiertas, una pena el horario que anuncian algunas no es, por que fui varios dias y nada cerradas una pena, precioso Antequera me encantó volvere❤️❤️❤️

(Translated by Google) Located in Antequera, the Agustinas convent church or Convent of the Mother of God of Monteagudo, was built between 1747 and 1761 and today arouses great interest among art scholars. The exterior vessel of the building surprises with the enormous height of its brick walls, highlighting two autonomous volumes: the domed tower of the main chapel, an elegant work of the Baroque-Mudejar style of Antequera, and the beautiful bell tower. The interior of the Convent of the Mother of God of Monteagudo is one of the most beautiful creations of the Antequera Baroque from an architectural point of view. Starting from a very simple convent church model, thanks to a skilful play of straight lines, curves and concave surfaces, one of the most original spatial ensembles in all of Spanish architecture is achieved. The interior cannot be visited. (Original) Situada en Antequera, la iglesia conventual de Agustinas o Convento de la Madre de Dios de Monteagudo, fue levantada entre 1747 y 1761 y hoy despierta gran interés entre los estudiosos del arte. El buque exterior del edificio sorprende por la enorme altura de sus muros de ladrillo, destacando dos volúmenes autónomos: la torre-cúpula de la capilla mayor, elegante obra del barroco-mudéjar antequerano, y la bella torre-campanario. El interior del Convento de la Madre de Dios de Monteagudo es una de las creaciones más bellas del Barroco antequerano desde el punto de vista arquitectónico. Partiendo de un modelo de iglesia conventual muy sencillo, se llega a conseguir, gracias a un hábil juego de rectas, curvas y superficies cóncavas, un conjunto espacial de los más originales de toda la arquitectura española. El interior no puede visitarse.

(Translated by Google) The Convent of Madre de Dios de Monteagudo de Antequera owes its origin to the establishment of the community of Augustinian nuns in the city in 1520, although the current building is, in very significant parts, from the mid-18th century, a time when the fire of the previous property forced its reconstruction. It is a valuable example of its typology, with evident achievements, recognized by artistic historiography, in the spatial solution of the church, in the treatment of the tower and the façade and in its interior decoration, which, on the other hand, houses interesting pictorial, sculptural and altarpiece works. (Original) El Convento de Madre de Dios de Monteagudo de Antequera debe su origen al establecimiento de la comunidad de religiosas agustinas en la ciudad en 1520, aunque el edificio actual es, en partes muy significativas, de mediados del siglo XVIII, momento en que el incendio del anterior inmueble obligó a su reconstrucción. Se trata de un valioso ejemplar de su tipología, con logros evidentes, reconocidos por la historiografía artística, en la solución espacial de la iglesia, en el tratamiento de la torre y la portada y en su decoración interior, que, por otra parte, alberga interesantes obras pictóricas, escultóricas y de retablística.

(Translated by Google) A pity that it cannot be visited. Being BIC (Asset of Cultural Interest) it should be open at least 4 times a month for your visit. (Original) Una pena que no se pueda visitar. Siendo BIC (Bien de Interés Cultural) debería estar abierto al menos 4 veces al mes, para su visita.

Finally went this year as closer to where we stayed. So good to see them up close. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Spanish and English spoken. Booked our reservation online for the 1pm slot. Guide feeds at each enclosure so they do come to the fence. Even if it takes a few minutes.

Waauw, what a great experience. We took the English tour and had a great guide. She knew so much about the wolf's, their history and what is best for them. I love how they rescue and take care of them. I will certainly come back with my other daughter. Please keep up the good work.

We absolutely recommend visiting this place. Our tour guide was super nice and explained interesting information about various kinds of wolves. Tour could be conducted in English or Spanish. Tour costed 15eur per person and it took around 1,5 - 2hod. Wolves were really interesting and looked to be happy in this place. When visiting wolves our tour guide offered to wolves some snacks and we could see almost all wolves come to us and we were able to took photos and videos.

This is such a beautiful park with wonderful, caring staff! We learned so much on our visit and you can tell that the staff is really trying to educate people to help conserve wolves. They’re super knowledgeable and their English is excellent.

An amazing experience! I booked the photographer tour and it was such a treat to be shown around the park and have truly memorable experiences with the wolves. Our guide made the experience even more special and was very knowledgable. And I got some of the best wildlife photographs I've ever captured. I will return for sure!

An interesting and very knowledgeable guided tour of the wolves by our guide Minerva. Set in a stunning piece of countryside it's a great place to visit if you are fascinated by these beautiful animals

We visited this park on 2 October 2025 and we loved it. Nicole, who took us around, was very knowledgeable and informative and made the visit really interesting. She knows her stuff! It was great to see the wolves in their spacious enclosures and learn about their lives. Anyone interested in wolves and wildlife in general will love this place. Highly recommend.

El Torcal is an absolutely breathtaking place that you simply must visit! The rock formations are unique and unforgettable. There are two hiking trails to choose from – a shorter and a longer one – both offering incredible views. I highly recommend wearing sturdy ankle-high shoes, as the ground is uneven in some places. For those who prefer not to go hiking, the Visitor Centre is a great option, where the friendly staff are always happy to explain everything. Right next to it, there’s a restaurant with fair prices and free parking, which is very convenient. The best part is that the entire attraction is free of charge – a fantastic bonus! The only small downside is the lack of WiFi, which would be useful for anyone hoping to relax with a drink and work on a laptop outdoors while enjoying the stunning scenery. Hopefully this will be added in the future. Overall, El Torcal is a true gem and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone visiting the area! 🌟

El Torcal has the most amazing rock formation, a lot of the rocks are balanced on top of one another. Incredible views from the look out platform. You drive up quite high, then park and walk to see the amazing rocks and the view. You can have something hot to drink and something to eat. Take warm jackets for the viewing, it is really cold up there. There are also goats on the rocks, you might be lucky to see one or two.

The information in the visitor's center is only in spanish. Too bad, since the history of this place is worth to read about before hiking or taking a short walk to the nearest view point. There are also free clean toilets inside, which is considered a huge advantage.

We were there at 10:00 and there were not many people there, so we got the trail pretty much to our selves. We walked the short, green trail and it took 40 min, and we stopped plenty of times for some photos. The path is very rough and a bit tricky to walk on. When we came back the parking lot had filled up. The food was OK, but nothing special. The almond soup was quite bland. The tomato soup, salmorejo, was topped with tuna. There are clean bathrooms.

Great place with fabulous views over Antequera and beyond. Especially good for walkers who like to explore.

Must do walk. Great location and food is good at visitor center.

Landscape is amazing we did the 2 hours walk which was the green and yellow trail. It is quite a physical trek and not for the faint hearted. We where very lucky to get a beautiful hot day but would not recommend in bad weather. Hiking boots recommended although good trainers can also serve the purpose. The rock formation and flora is beautiful. I visited in autumn and the range of colours was amazing. The views are breathtaking and at the visitors centre you can find a restaurant and toilets. The drive up is through winding roads but it is well signposted and the road is in a good state also at the visitors centre there is a large car park.

Set in lovely town of Aguilera as original entry to town. Alongside a bull ring

This gateway leads to the main route into town where the bars and restaurants are frequent, it's next to the bull ring which is free to enter and has a nice cafe.

Only a reconstruction, but very attractive. It's not the real thing, I'm afraid! The original, built in 1749 with a central arch for carriages and two lateral arches for pedestrians, was knocked down in 1931 because cars couldn't get through it easily. Good gracious, what a reason! However in 1998 they had the clever idea of reconstructing it according to the original design, and using stone from the Torcal area just outside the town. They solved the problem of the narrow arch very easily by putting it in a roundabout so everyone drives around it instead of through it. Now why didn't they think of that in 1931? Puerta de Estepa - the Estepa Door - as it was and is the main entrance to Antequera coming from the town of Estepa. Estepa is famous at Christmas time for its polvorones and mantecados, by the way, delicious calorie-filled sweetmeats traditional at that time of year. The best time to take a photo is at night when it is illuminated, or fairly early in the morning, on your way to have chocolate and churros perhaps in the bar A La Fuerza just 100 metres away, when the sun strikes it and illuminates the beautiful golden stone. .

So much more to see but 1hour can't be do !

Lovely at Karneval, too. On Kids-karneval no alcohol is to be selled ! Great Idea !

Fabulous

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Gross Hermanos for a tour & tasting. Javier & his family were welcoming and the wines were spectacular!! We will return on our next visit to Spain!!

Amazing wine tour! Our guide Hennie was fab she had so much knowledge and made us feel very welcome! We learn everything from vine to bottle and what we tasted was all so nice too! Great value for money, from the guide, the wine to the tapas! Highly recommend this tour, we bought a few bottles home with us too!

Javier led us through a beautiful tour of the vineyards and his wine-making area. We took part in the VIP tour which was a private tour for the 2 of us. It was very intimate and felt like we were truly a part of the family! There was more food than you could possibly imagine, and the wine was incredible. Make sure to come very hungry if you choose the dinner option. Absolutely adorable small family business, we highly recommend viewing this winery. Javier even picked us up from our hotel and drove us home (for extra fee).

Javier was an excellent guide for the vineyard tour and tapas tasting/lunch. It was a spectacular walk through the process of winemaking and pairing with local food. Truly a highlight of our trip in Spain and a great way to learn about this region. Highly recommend a private tour, if you are able.

Absolute treasure! Family run winery on the doorstep of the gorgeous El Torcal national park. Javier and Pilar were very hospitable and informative on the entire winemaking process and of course the products are all 10/10

We had a fabulous time with Javier and his family. It was easy to find and is in a beautiful location in rural Spain surrounded by mountains. Well worth the drive! We loved the wines(top quality), walking around the vineyards, and the tour to see the entire production process. Learned so much! We were warmly welcomed and experience was amazing. We hope they sell their wine to the US soon! Thanks!

We had a fantastic experience at Gross Hermanos winery in Antequera. The guided tour was informative and engaging, offering great insights into their winemaking process and philosophy. The wines were excellent—rich in character and clearly crafted with passion. The setting is stunning, surrounded by nature with beautiful views and a perfect blend of traditional and modern architecture. Highly recommended for wine lovers or anyone looking for a unique, relaxing experience in the Andalusian countryside

It's a pleasent space with some nice contemporary arts on display. It was almost empty when I was there and it is air-conditioned to escape the heat. Free entry.

Lovely gallery of more modern art. Beautifully presented and evocative. The flamenco display is very different and imaginative. It is creative and food for the imagination. The blend of material created an outstanding effect that made us stop and wonder. The main display is very varied and there is something for every taste.

A stunning large building wth about 5 pictures of I don't know what . I'm not a massive art fan but I thought the building and garden could have a better use maybe for the community .

A friendly welcome from the security guard at reception. The photography exhibition was interesting as well as the art exhibition on the first floor.

Incredible art gallery. The flamenco art on the ground floor is really sensational. Theatrical, art about art. Merging and blending of art and nature. Gorgeous. Divine. I loved them all. Even more, the staff are lovely and the gallery is admission free!

Lovely little art gallery with two exhibition areas. Free admission in a delightful building . The security guard is extremely helpful admission is free well worth a visit in a town with many other great places to visit.

Much improved except STILL NO SEATS so enjoyment of exhibits spoilt for those of us less able to stand well for long in one place. It's the owners policy apparently same as at Malaga. Should be ashamed of themselves. Seating is necessary and can really add to the experience (go to the car and fashion museum at Malaga for a wonderful experience of seats enhancing the exhibitions). Get a grip!! We want seats!

(Translated by Google) The sculpture is very well located, close to the place where the Castilians managed to conquer the city after a six-month siege. The sculptor also knew how to represent the suffering and anguish of those who had to leave and take refuge in Granada. This is another place not to be missed on your visit to Antequera. Come and see it. Published on 30Apr25 (Original) A escultura está muito bem localizada, encontra-se próxima do local por onde os castelhanos conseguiram conquistar a cidade, após seis meses de cerco.

(Translated by Google) Monument raised before the walls of the Torre del Asalto, and inaugurated on September 24, 2010, the date on which the VI Centenary of the Incorporation of Antequera to the Crown of Castile was commemorated. On that date, but six centuries ago, the Nasrids who remained entrenched in the Alcazaba capitulated and abandoned the town to march to Granada and found the Antequeruela neighborhood there. The sculptural group represents a Muslim family made up of a married couple and two children, one of them a baby in the mother's arms. In a somewhat more advanced plane, the male figure walks, wearing a turban and carrying in his right hand the key to the abandoned house, who brings his left hand close to his forehead in an attitude of seeing the path he must take in the direction of the Peña de los Enamorados and towards Granada. The wife appears at his side, looking sad and trying to cover her children with her body. (Original) Monumento levantado ante las murallas de la Torre del Asalto, e inaugurado el día 24 de septiembre de 2010, fecha en la que se conmemoraba el VI Centenario de la Incorporación de Antequera a la Corona de Castilla. En aquella fecha, pero de hace seis siglos, capitulaban los nazaríes que permanecían atrincherados en la Alcazaba y abandonaban la villa para marchar a Granada y fundar allí el barrio de la Antequeruela. El grupo escultórico representa una familia musulmana compuesta por el matrimonio y dos hijos, uno de ellos un bebé en brazos de la madre. En un plano algo más avanzado camina la figura masculina, tocado de turbante y portando en su mano derecha la llave de la casa abandonada, que acerca su mano izquierda a la frente en actitud de divisar el camino que debe recorrer en dirección a la Peña de los Enamorados y hacia Granada. A su lado aparece la esposa con aire apesadumbrado y tratando de arropar a sus hijos con su cuerpo.

It is a nice maintained and small setup. With a rustic (somewhat overpriced) restaurant besides it. Great place to stop by, but nothing like the bigger attractions in this part of Andalucía.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent establishment known to me for years but in continuous improvement and adaptation to the times without losing its essence and continually increasing quality. We ate a porra that I thought was the best I have ever eaten. The exceptional ajoblanco, an excellent anchovy toast and an exquisite vegetable scramble with shrimp to share. The restaurant is located in a recreation of a classic Andalusian farmhouse from past centuries, very well decorated. Next to it there is a recreation of a beautiful hermitage with antiques. The attention of the owner and exceptional waiters, speed in the kitchen and neat cleaning everywhere. (Original) Magnífico establecimiento ya conocido por mí desde hace años pero en continua mejora y adaptación a los tiempos sin perder su esencia y aumentando la calidad continuamente.

El restaurante está enclavado en una recreación de un cortijo clásico andaluz de siglos pasados muy bien ambientado. Junto a él existe una recreación de una ermita preciosa con antigüedades. La atención de la dueña y camareros excepcionales, rapidez en la cocina y limpieza pulcra por todos lados.

(Translated by Google) The San Benito Museum of Uses and Customs is located in the grounds of the Caserío de San Benito restaurant, a new building but built with materials from the 16th and 17th centuries, mostly from noble buildings in the Antequera region that have been have been disappearing: palaces, stately homes, churches and monasteries. This is a curious museum, which displays a collection of very varied objects from different periods: toys, sewing machines, radios, ceramic pieces, coffee grinders, photographic cameras, etc., all collected over thirty years by its owner, Antonio Galindo. The traditional character of the San Benito Museum of Uses and Customs makes it an endearing place, where visitors look back to the past and recognize everyday items that have been part of their life at some point, triggering multiple memories and evocations. (Original) El Museo de Usos y Costumbres de San Benito se encuentra en el recinto del restaurante Caserío de San Benito, un edificio de nueva planta pero construido con materiales de los siglos XVI y XVII procedentes en su mayoría de edificios nobles de la comarca de Antequera que han ido desapareciendo: palacios, casas señoriales, iglesias y monasterios. Es éste un museo curioso, en el que se muestra una colección de objetos muy variados de diferentes épocas: juguetes, máquinas de coser, radios, piezas de cerámica, molinillos de café, cámaras fotográficas, etc., recopilados todos ellos durante treinta años por su propietario, Antonio Galindo. El carácter costumbrista del Museo de Usos y Costumbres de San Benito lo convierte en un lugar entrañable, donde el visitante vuelve la mirada al pasado y reconoce artículos cotidianos que han formado parte de su vida en algún momento, suscitándole múltiples recuerdos y evocaciones.

Beautiful square

(Translated by Google) I love this place, presided over by the Immaculate Conception, with a very modest little garden that is not always completely maintained. Next door, in counterpoint, the church and the Capuchin convent, currently without monks. (Original) Me encanta este lugar, presidido por la Inmaculada, con un jardincito muy modesto y no siempre del todo cuidado. Al lado, de contrapunto, la iglesia y el convento de los capuchinos, actualmente sin monjes.

(Translated by Google) In the city of Antequera, the Triumph of the Immaculate Conception is the work of the sculptor Antonio del Castillo. Promoted by the Community of Capuchin Fathers with a contract date of October 4, 1697, its purpose was to occupy the existing esplanade in front of their convent. This artist undertook to make only the pedestal, since the sculpture of the Immaculate Conception that was to top it had already been in the convent since 1681, the year in which it was brought by Father Francisco de Luque and placed over the main door. The Triumph of the Immaculate Conception, an important piece of Andalusian Baroque, presents the following scheme: superimposed rectangular parallelepipeds with narrowing between both and, above them, a column with a Corinthian capital, a pedestal with curved profiles and finally the sculpture. The image of the Immaculate Conception, in alabaster, is an anonymous work but of great strength and movement: its mantle in the wind acquires its full meaning when it is placed outdoors and at a high altitude. (Original) En la ciudad de Antequera, el Triunfo de la Inmaculada es obra del escultor Antonio del Castillo. Promovido por la Comunidad de Padres Capuchinos con fecha de contrato 4 de octubre de 1697, su finalidad era ocupar la explanada existente ante su convento. Este artista se comprometía a realizar solamente el pedestal, puesto que la escultura de la Inmaculada que había de rematarlo estaba ya en el convento desde 1681, año en el que fue traída por el padre Francisco de Luque y colocada sobre la puerta principal. El Triunfo de la Inmaculada, importante pieza del barroco andaluz, presenta el siguiente esquema: paralelepípedos rectangulares superpuestos con estrechamiento entre ambos y, sobre ellos, una columna con capitel corintio, peana de perfiles curvos y finalmente la escultura. La imagen de la Inmaculada, en alabastro, es obra anónima pero de una gran fuerza y movimiento: su manto al viento adquiere su pleno sentido al estar colocada al aire libre y a gran altura.

(Translated by Google) Nice place located in the upper part of Antequera next to the local police...there is a statue in honor of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception (Original) Sitio bonito ubicado en la parte alta d antequera junto a la policia local...hay una estatutua en honor a la virgen de la inmaculada

(Translated by Google) Very poorly maintained, it would be worth investing money in this place. (Original) Muy mal cuidada , merecería la pena invertir dinero en este lugar.

(Translated by Google) The experience would have been complete if it had been open. Apart from being surrounded by a fence and indicating that it is under video surveillance, it does not appear that there are any rehabilitation and improvement actions. A pity because it is a unique place with hundreds of years of history. (Original) La experiencia hubiese sido completa si hubiera estado abierto. Aparte de estar cercado por una valla y de indicar que esta videovigilado no parece que existan actuaciones de rehabilitacion y mejoras. Una pena porque es un lugar unico y con cientos de años de historia.

Well situated & beautifully maintained. We came on a breezy day during their Féria weekend. There are enough trees surrounding for parents to sit in shade and enough varying activities for children to find something to do. Some of the Astro turf will need to be replaced in parts of the park at some point in the near future but a wonderful place for children and families even in the hot of summer. We’ve seen children use cardboard to go faster on metal slides in Spain- I would recommend for metal slides in summer as well (just so they don’t get burned on super hot days).

A really cool park for my little toddler. Well worth visiting!

Good place in case you travel here and your children want just to play and not historical things👍😉

Best playground in the city, even a restaurant is there less than 10m away with a terrace to drink/eat something while the childrens play.

Nice place. But young teenagers damaging the play equipment whilst we were there.

Wonderful for kids all age. Nice coffee near.. lack of seats but you can manage it

So good Park for kids,we enjoyed and feel want back again))

Can I join online. It takes a while waiting to be entered by staff

Excellent tapas and free with a cold drink...

Expensive, very average

Sublime.

Nice place to have a drink and watch some sports!

Awesome atmosphere, good tunes, and top-notch service thanks to Afaf.

(Translated by Google) Although I don't drink alcohol, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience here. The atmosphere is cozy, the decor is charming, and Afaf's service was simply excellent.

(Translated by Google) In the city of Antequera, important remains of the old Muslim fence of the town are preserved, next to the Plaza del Carmen, such as the Torreón del Asalto and the Torre Albarrana de la Estrella or Postigo de la Estrella. The Star Gate is an autonomous tower, joined to the fence by a semicircular arch, next to which a gap or gate was opened, after the conquest, to be able to enter the enclosure. The Andalusian Arabic flavor of this corner evokes other times of greater romanticism (Original) En la ciudad de Antequera, se conservan importantes restos de la antigua cerca musulmana de la villa, junto a la Plaza del Carmen, como el Torreón del Asalto y la Torre Albarrana de la Estrellao Postigo de la Estrella.
