Antequera is a very beautiful town near the mountains. There is one mountain which locals call Indian mountain. I’ve heard some stories that old people want to go to there to meet their death. It really looks like lying Indian with the feathers in the head. It is called Peña de los Enamorados.

Antequera is a municipality in the province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. It is located at the foot of the Sierra del Torcal mountain range and is known for its cultural heritage and its natural landscape.
The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times and was a major settlement during the Roman period. It was an important trading center in the Middle Ages and is one of the oldest cities in the region. It was an important staging post on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and was the site of several battles during the Reconquista.



In the 16th century, Antequera was the administrative capital of the region and the city flourished until the end of the 18th century when it declined due to political unrest and economic depression.
In the 19th century, the city became a centre for industry and an important stop on the railway network. In the 20th century, Antequera experienced rapid growth and development with the construction of new infrastructure and the expansion of its industrial base.


The Peña de los Enamorados is a rock formation located in the Sierra del Torcal mountain range in Antequera, Spain. The formation is believed to have been formed millions of years ago due to erosion and tectonic movements.
The formation has become a popular tourist attraction due to its unique shape and location. The rock formation is said to be shaped like two lovers embracing each other and is said to be a symbol of eternal love. It is a popular place for couples to take pictures, as well as for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
The legend of the Peña de los Enamorados dates back to the 16th century. According to legend, two star-crossed lovers, a Moorish prince and a Christian princess, were forbidden to be together due to the religious tensions of the time. The lovers decided to end their lives together by throwing themselves off the mountain. It is said that the gods, moved by their love, turned them into stone.
The Peña de los Enamorados is a popular attraction in Antequera and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Antequera Dolmens. Visitors can take a cable car to the top of the mountain and admire the views of the surrounding countryside. The rock formation can also be seen from the nearby towns of El Torcal and Villanueva de la Concepcion.

Almost 42 thousand people live in Antequera. There is an amazing castle which I had no time to visit.
The signs of civilisation dates to 1800 BCE, but the first mentioning of the name dates back to 230 BCE.
It is a really beautiful town to visit.
