We spent too long finding the nicest places
In a nutshell
The more rural natural part of Spain but not in the middle of nowhere
The Dolmens: Monumental and impressive
berenices Says: The megalithic complex of Antequera, which has 3 impressive and monumental tombs which are very well preserved, is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Europe. The 3 most important tombs to date are the Viera, Menga, and El Romeral. They date from between 4,000 to...
The Municipal Museum in the Palacio de Najera
peterdhduncan Says: The municipal Museum, which is situated in an attractive former palace, is well worth a visit. Its most treasured possession is an Efebo, which is a bronze statue of a naked boy from Roman times. It is believed to have been unearthed by a local farmer whilst ploughing.There...
peterdhduncan Says: The Alcazaba de Antequera is a fine castle built by the Moors, but subsequently altered by the Christians. situated on a hill overlooking the town, and providing superb views over the town and surrounding countryside, particularly from the top of the battlements and towers....
peterdhduncan Says: The Dolmens are very ancient burial mounds situated on the outskirts of Antequera, which visitors can walk into. Two of them, Dólmen de Menga and Dólmen de Viera are situated adjacent to each other, and the other, the Dólmen del Romeral is situated in a different area a few...

solopes Says: No, I'm not proud of my decision to stop and eat in Antequera. The restaurant is well located, by the highway, it looks nice, the stake was big, but the prices were so high that I think they payed a high salary to the flies that made us company during all the lunch.
Molina de Las Pilas: Intriguing restaurant in converted olive mill
Senoritasmile Says: Not only does the menu offer some unusual twists to local fare but the restaurant itself has plenty to hold your interest. Set in a converted olive oil mill, the original 'workings' have pride of place in the centre of the restaurant with tables weaved in between the huge...
A la Fuerza Cafe and Chocolateria: If chocolate's your thing - head here!
Senoritasmile Says: This is a great little stop for either breakfast, lunch or a coffee. There's always a nice buzz here with a blend of locals and Antequera daytrippers just chilling and enjoying the simple food on offer. It's a modern, efficient cafe and I particularly like the photographic...
Hotel Castilla Restaurante: Get your good grub here
blint Says: The restaurant/bar doesn't look look very flash inside but the food is certainly worth it. It looks like a typical Andaluz place with tiles on the walls and a bar at the front ,then a place to sit and drink a coffee, then the Comedor (eating zone) at the back. I would...
Confitería Marengo: Confitería Marengo
peterdhduncan Says: Confitería Marengo is a good place for a lunch time snack as a change from the many tapis bars. There are a lot of tempting meringues, cakes, pastries etc. to eat there or to have wrapped up to take home!
Lobo Park: Eat your dinner to the howling of wolves
Senoritasmile Says: On Friday and Saturday nights 8-12pm, the Wolf Park host special 'Howl Nights' which include a tour of the enclosures and a dinner to the accompaniment of the wolves chorus. Havent been yet myself but those who have say its an experience you'll never forget.
Check out Antequera Golf Club: Open Air Concerts overlooking Antequera
Senoritasmile Says: The Antequera Golf Hotel host events in the Golf Club grounds during the summer. Last year, I saw famous spanish pop singer David Bisbal - it was fab, sitting under the stars, the lights of Antequera twinkling below and professional live entertainment.Call into the hotel...
Public transport Málaga-Antequera/Fuente de Piedra
JuliaBalbilla Says: Fuente de Piedra itself has a small railway station, so it may be possible to go all the way by train from Málaga. See http://www.webmalaga.com/turismo/transportes/trenes/ficha.asp?cod=350&mun=29055 - I would suggest you e-mail them from the link on the page to find out...
Easier to reach Antequera/Torcal by rental car
Bwana_Brown Says: When we travel, Sue and I like to be independent to do our own thing and it usually involves getting off the beaten track to see places such as Torcal Nature Park. As a result, we almost always hire a car if it makes any sense at all given the circumstances of where we are...
blint Says: On the outskirts of town you will find a very large Eroski. Eroski is really a supermarket but all you see are signs for Eroski on this shopping centre. The Shopping centre is mainly filled with clothes and shoe shops but there are also places to eat and a cinema (don't...
Be careful if you have nut allergies
Senoritasmile Says: As almonds are prolific in this area, they are often used to thicken sauces or soups and will often have nothing in the menu to indicate this. If you do have an allergy, ask 'lleva nueces?' (prononunced 'yeba noo-eth-ess'). Better to be safe than sorry.
Senoritasmile Says: If you enjoy getting up with the lark and hiking through the wonderful countryside, do be careful, especially on a Sunday!There are many areas surrounding Antequera where locals head off early Sunday morning to hunt rabbits, partridge, hare....small animals and in the more...
Beware: Smooth talking property sales people
Senoritasmile Says: Be careful not to get swept away with the romance of it all here. A harmless wander into one of the many Antequera Estate Agents could see you schmoozed into, there and then putting a small deposit on a dream off-plan house. 'Not me', I hear you say - 'who'd be so naive'....
Go birdwatching at Laguna de Fuente de Piedra!
berenices Says: Laguna de Fuente Piedra is a lake about 20 km north of Antequera (on the road to Sevilla) and is synonymous with flamingoes. This is one of the most important breeding site of the species in all of Europe where at its peak, numbers reach up to 30,000 birds. It does seem...
Carmela71 Says: When thinking in Antequera, one of the most interesting sights is its dolmens. The closest ones to the city are the ones of Menga & Viera. It is just outside Antequera in direction to Malaga before the industrial Area
Located in a beautiful part of Spain
Bwana_Brown Says: This map provides an overview of our 'orange' driving route to and around Andalusia province of Spain, as we started out from Alicante in the top right corner. After driving down along the coast to just outside Malaga, we picked up Sue's sister at the airport before heading...
