Antequera Antequera is near where the main road from Málaga to Granada leaves the Sevilla road after you have come right up the mountains from Málaga. Its bus links with Málaga are excellent and it may serve as an alternative first or last night if you are using Málaga airport. It is a very pleasant town, where people don't seem to have had their friendliness extinguished by over-exposure to speakers of English. The old castle at the top of the town provides great views of mountains on one side and olive-covered hills on the other. However it has two particular claims to fame. The first consists of three fine prehistoric dolmens barely outside the town itself. The second merits a taxi up and walk down if you have no car. This is the Torcal de Antequera, a mountain top covered with huge and wonderfully shaped rock outcrops. There is a visitors' centre here now and some excellent routes marked by different coloured paint on the rocks. There is plenty of time to do the red and the yellow and walk down in daylight to the town, stopping for some ice cold fino on the way. davidx 1 July 2004
