I stayed with my sister in a small town near Antequera in May 2018, and day tripped to the main attractions of Seville, Rhonda, Grenada, Cordoba etc. All very lovely and all worth a visit. Seville left us in no doubt that it would be worthy of a seperate city break.
However, the suprising charm of Antequera blew us away. It was lovely, with beautiful buildings, small, interesting, with plenty of shops, cafes,& pubs.This was a bonus on top of the tourist attractions. It was easy to get around with the marvelous trundle train, all mapped out for convenience. You get to see the back streets and really feel you’re seeing a very nice little town, somewhere worth living where you feel you could be part of the community…..not jossling with seaside tourists. We went twice and felt it would be a great place to base yourself to do the grand tour of Andalucia. I would like to go again, but Spain is so big and there’s so much more to see……

I first visited Antequera 3yrs ago and totally fell in love with the town. I’m now lucky enough to own a small home in the old quarter.
I feel it will take me a lifetime to visit all the majestic churches, sample the wonderful food and become familiar with all the tiny streets.
The people are really friendly and very patient when determining what I’m saying as I stumble with my poor Spanish.

Glad to have come across this post. Looking to explore southern Spain and would like to avoid spending most of our time in the bigger cities like Malaga, Sevilla, etc. Believe it or not, Antequera came across as a place to look into. Will make sure to check it out. Thanks.
