Antequera, Torcal, Dolmens - Spain
Description:
Anketera is the heart of Andalusia.
Anketera is one of the most ancient and interesting cities of Andalusia. Antequera has a rich history, which begins about two thousand years BC and is associated with three amazing caves, which are located a kilometer from the city (at the entrance to Anketera – right): Cueva de Romeral, Cueva de Viera, Cueva de Menga. There is still no exact information about those mysterious tribes who were able to build these magnificent underground temples. Scientists cannot find an explanation for the fact that the people of the Neolithic era were able to erect majestic funerary grottoes on this place and pay tribute to their leaders who had gone to the other world in such a peculiar way.
Nowadays, Antequera is an amazing city, which harmoniously combines lively shopping streets and gloomy ruins of Moorish castles. 25 active monasteries and churches create a unique atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
Antequera is located 47 km from the provincial capital, the city of Malaga, at the foot of the mountains El Torcal and Sierra de la Chimenea at an altitude of 575 meters above sea level. Occupying the dominant height, the city rises above the fertile plain, surrounded from the south by the Sierra de los Torcales mountains and from the north by the Guadalhorse river. The territory occupied by the municipality is 749.34 km2, which is the largest in the province of Malaga and one of the largest in Spain as a whole. The population of Antequera as of 2012 is 41,827 people. Great importance and fame to the city bring 2 large dolmens located on its territory, belonging to the Bronze Age. (Visiting Wolves Park)
