Here's a quick break to highlight some other points of interest that didn’t fit into the main itinerary. First up are the Dolmens of Antequera, located just outside town on the road to Granada. This remarkable archaeological site dates back to the Bronze Age, and forms the largest megalithic complex in Europe. If you’re looking for a peaceful green space with a view, head to Atalaya Park. The lush lawns contrast beautifully with the town’s whitewashed houses, and the Lovers’ Mountain provides a dramatic backdrop. For nature lovers seeking jaw-dropping landscapes, don’t miss the Torcal Natural Park—only a 30-minute drive away from Antequera. It’s Spain’s most impressive karst landscape and looks like something from another world. If you're up for an unforgettable hike, check out the Caminito del Rey in Los Ardales Natural Park, about 30 kilometers away. This incredible trail follows a suspended walkway pinned to the cliff face of the Gaitanes Gorge, stretching three kilometers high above the river and sometimes over a hundred meters up. If you’re afraid of heights, you might want to sit that one out! Finally, for wildlife enthusiasts, we recommend the Fuente de Piedra Lagoon. Just 20 kilometers northwest of Antequera, this haven of biodiversity is home to a large flamingo colony and many other bird species. It's a fantastic spot for nature photography and a peaceful escape into the wild. So there you have it—with all these amazing places, you'll have plenty of things to see and do if you decide to spend a bit more time exploring the region.
