The most beautiful places near Antequera.
El Torcal de Antequera
Unique in Europe and a World Heritage Site, this karst landscape is a veritable labyrinth of strangely shaped rocks. It is home to mountain goats, foxes, vultures, mosses, ferns… In autumn, shrouded in mist, it looks like something out of a fairy tale. In spring, with so many orchids, it looks like paradise. In summer, at night, with the Milky Way as its ceiling, it looks like a dream. And in winter, with its frozen trees, it seems as if time has stopped.
A must-see if you visit Antequera!
