Antequera has to be one of Andalusia's most underrated gems and if you ever have the chance to visit this historic and typical medieval Spanish town you will surely understand why.
A visit to this historical Andalusian town is a journey almost 5,000 years back in time, beginning with the Bronze Age and the native Iberians. The timeline is there to be followed in this fascinating city's profusion of burial mounds, dolmens, Roman baths, a Moorish Castle, Gothic churches, Renaissance fountains and baroque bell towers.
Antequera lies in the province of Malaga and is situated in the very heart of Andalusia between Granada and Sevilla and the coastal city of Malaga and on passing you may be fooled in thinking it is a typical whitewashed medieval town conceiling perhaps a few historic buildings leaving you with a feeling of shall we visit it or not, however Antequeras modest facade hides a a real tresure trove of historic sights and proudly boasting over 55 places of great historic and cultural value to visit not including the geological wonderment of El Torcal set high above the adjoining mountain range which has eagerly protected the town for thousands of years.
