Antequera, which is situated at the main crossroads of Andalusia, is an ideal point from which to begin exploring this region. If your goal is to relax, we recommend a sun lounger by the pool, a drink on the terrace, and the scent of grass and flowers from our pleasant gardens. This is also an ideal setting for your social gatherings or business meetings, which may be held in any of our four perfectly equipped rooms with different capacities that are at your disposal.
The hotel is so pleasant and welcoming that you’ll find it hard to leave it, to let go of the soft radiance of its rooms, and the fresh and elegant colours of its minimalist decoration; but a stroll through Antequera is definitely worth the effort. It’s worth visiting the city’s Bronze Age monuments such as the Dolmen of the cave of Menga, the Dolmen of Viera and the Dolmen of El Romeral. The basilica of Santa María and the Alcazaba de Antequera, a castle that has stood over and guarded the town since Roman times, also await your visit.
But Antequera isn’t just monuments but also nature, with splendid landscapes such as the fertile Vega or El Torcal (12 km), an amazing karst landscape that takes us back millions of years to the planet’s history. This is also an exclusive place from which to discover the universe, as it has a modern astronomical observatory with activities for visitors throughout the year.
Other nearby routes are Archidona (8 km), the Fuente de Piedra (20 km), the Caminito del Rey (40 km), and Malaga (57 km), where you can visit the Picasso Birthplace Museum, the Russian Museum Collection and the Pompidou Museum. Tickets for all three museums can be purchased at the Parador.
If sport is more to your liking, Antequera offers you the possibility of cycling, rock climbing, horse riding, paragliding, swimming and golf (8 km).
