 Antequera is located right
in the centre of Andalucia, set in a rich, fertile plain with
Malaga lying just 38 miles to the south.
Antequera is a sleepy medieval town
that comes alive on Fridays, market day, as a bustling agricultural
centre. The castle walls and towers of the great Moorish fortress
dominates the town. Antequera and the valley below are overlooked
by an enormous crag of limestone, 880 metres high, called La
Peña de los Enamorados. The whole area around the town
is covered with olive trees and is famous for its olive oil production.
On the edge of the town lie the famous Dolmen Caves, the most
famous in Europe, while above the town the Sierra of El Torcal
is a breath-taking landscape, a mountain top covered with huge
and wonderfully shaped limestone formed millions of years ago
when the whole area was under water. Nearby is a unique natural
beauty spot, the Fuente de Piedra, a wonderful lake visited by
the pink Flamingo.
