Traveller tips
When visiting Antequera, be sure to try the local specialty dish called 'porra antequerana', a delicious cold tomato soup. Don't forget to visit the Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress with panoramic views of the town. It's also recommended to take a guided tour of the dolmens to learn about the town's prehistoric past. Be prepared for siesta time when many shops and restaurants close in the afternoon. Lastly, make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes as the town has hilly streets and cobblestone pathways.
