Explore Antequera, the heart of Andalusia because of its central location among Málaga, Granada, Córdoba, and Seville, the nearby natural reserve of El Torcal, famous for its unstable limestone rocks, one of the most important karst landscapes in Europe
Antequera has an extensive archaeological and architectural heritage, highlighted by the dolmens of Menga, Viera, and El Romeral, and numerous churches, convents, and palaces from different periods and in different styles.
You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning for this day tour to start exploring the area by visiting 2 dolmens, a megalithic burial mound called a tumulus, a long barrow form of dolmen, dating from 3,000 B.C. After completion of the chamber (which probably served as a grave for the ruling families) and the path leading into the center, the stone structure was covered by the ground and built up into the hill that can be seen today. When the grave was opened and examined in the 19th century, archaeologists found the skeletons of several hundred people inside.
Later, stop at a local cozy restaurant for lunch (own expense). And after, continue the tour by visiting Alcazaba of Antequera, Royal Collegiate, Roman Baths. The Alcazaba of Antequera is a fortress in Antequera, Spain. It was erected in the 14th century to counter the Christian advance from the north, over Roman ruins. It is rectangular in shape, with two towers and its keep is considered among the largest of Moorish al-Andalus. At the end of this tour you will be transferred back to your hotel in the Costa del Sol.
