Lobo Park is a unique destination that offers visitors the opportunity to observe and study wolves in a semi-natural environment. Unlike traditional zoos, Lobo Park prioritizes providing an authentic habitat for the animals while also educating the public about these magnificent creatures. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly, offering tours in both Spanish and English. Visitors can learn about different types of wolves and gain a deeper understanding of their behavior and lifestyle.
It is a great option when you're looking for an alternative experience whilst you are in Antequerra. Just a short ride out of town. An educational 1.5 walk in the beautiful mountains and learn about the wolfs.

Lobo Park is an excellent place to visit if you want to learn about wolves and see them close up. It is not a traditional zoo and they are clearly very passionate about giving the wolves a natural setting/lifestyle, and educating the public about these beautiful animals. Our guide on the tour was very knowledgable and friendly (they explain in both Spanish and English). We learnt so much and had a wonderful time seeing the different types of wolf.

Fantastic place even we came very to the closure (17:50) and were not able to join the tour. Last tour starts 16:30 - pay attention! 👆🧐 there is place to park your car, take a rest, buy coffee or souvenirs. We had a chance to see wolves a little bit but definitely will come back for the full tour.

Guide was very good and very knowledgeable. Took time to answer the kids questions which is important as they will be the ones taking care of the wolves in the future.
It's clear the wolves come first and most of them have plenty of space to roam around in.
The facility is great and I would definitely recommend a visit :)

My second visit to a wolf zoo and I was not disappointed. Cute animals (not just wolves) have a long and happy life here. Fascinating talking to the guide - made me think about human behavior. Well stocked souvenir shop.

This was my sons choice and I must admit it has been one of my favourite activities throughout our holiday, and we even travelled 2 hours to get there. If you like wolves then you must visit this park as its very informative, interesting and lots of wolves to see. Plus a few other animals.

Amazing experience. There is nothing like being able to see wolves in their wild habitat. Nothing like a zoo- these wolves have their own mountain to themselves. The tour was fascinating, as Shelina explained many wolf behaviours and how they relate to us as humans. The kids loved it and now they want an annual pass- we met another family who visit every six months to see the wolf families as they grow and evolve. We will be returning soon!

The Dolmen de Menga and the Dolmen de Viera in Antequera are megalithic tombs built by Bronze Age people around 2500 BC. These burial mounds were rediscovered in 1903 and found to contain hundreds of remains. The Dolmen de Menga, which was erected over 5500 years ago, is considered one of the best Neolithic monuments in Europe and features impressive lintelled architecture.
Uncover the mysteries of the Dolmen of Menga, a captivating megalithic burial mound resembling a tumulus and fashioned in the long barrow style of dolmen, dating back to around 3750–3650 BCE. Nestled near Antequera, Málaga, Spain, this remarkable site stands as one of Europe's grandest ancient megalithic marvels, proudly recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Possibly the worst design ever. First you get shunted right down to the museum to get your free ticket.
The museum is beautiful but has almost nothing in it. Then you trudge back up the hill where the dolmens are just above you. And then you have to walk up in a huge circle with no shade - it takes about 15 mins. There are 'guard dogs' presumably to make sure you don't steal any stones... And then you arrive and there is nothing to see unless you are a Mesolithic expert. A waste of time and energy, especially on a hot day

I sort of feel I ought to give four stars 🌟 , it is a UNESCO World Heritage, but it is frankly not particularly impressive. We stopped by on our way to Rute, it was a nice break, but otherwise nothing much to write home about.
Perhaps a keen student of neolithic / prehistoric Spain 🇪🇸 will see it differently, but as a plain tourist ....
Entrance is free of charge, but don't forget to go to the museum first to pick up your free tickets.

If you like Dolmens, you have to go there. Since I was on Malta several times for the there even under-earth-megalithic-temple which is called Hypogaeum in Valletta, Menga Dolmen was a must. Awesome how a 180 ton Megalith could be brought there with only men force. Watch it and feel the magic, also from the magic mountain that can be seen from the temple's entrance.

This is a beautiful historic site with amazing views and worth the visit. I'm sad to give it such low stars but only because one of the female staffers made my boyfriend and I very uncomfortable. She watched us the entire time we were in the second cave, always near us. After 2 minutes of this she told us "I know you like to touch things but you can't touch anything in here," in Spanish which was incredibly strange. We told her we would just leave and she followed us out, staring as we walked away. The space in these caves is very small and because of her behavior I wasn't able to enjoy the site or have room to take pictures.

This is a must see if you at all are interested in ancient burial sites and mysteries. It is the Spanish Stonehenge and better. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site and check out the mountain that it faces. And I do mean faces lol
The Alcazaba is a large fortress from the 11th-century with Moorish architecture, gardens, and stunning views of the city. It was once an impregnable castle guarded by a double wall and formed part of the walled complex of the Islamic medina. Among its various towers, Torre Blanca stands out with magnificent interiors and views of Pena de los Enamorados while Torre del Homenaje dates back to the 12th century.
Very well cared for landmark with exceptional views and interesting history. Easy guided tour, available with audio guide via an app, very reasonable entry fee. A nice day out with family.

Wonderful place, 3 euro entrance, 6 euro if you add entrance to the Colegiata. We bought the combined ticket for 6 euro - we visited both Acazaba and Colegiata.
It took us 1 hour to see everything. There is an audio guide that you can download on your phone. Must see in Antequera.
Alcazaba, Colegiata, and Arco de los Gigantes - all these places are next to each other.

Great fort with fantastic views over the city. Some of the best views in Andalusia. Entrance was cheap, €4, and includes a audio guide. You can get entrance to the church next door too. Personally we found the church very boring, little to see and no information. Don't bother, but the Fort is stunning. Not too much to see once you're in, but worth the money.

Moorish ruins within the old town of Antequera on a strategic hilltop overlooking the entire valley. Free Parking at Alcazaba or along street. Can get a combined ticket with Real Colegiata next door. Or come on non festival Tuesday’s between 2:00 and 5:30 for free entrance to both!!! Enter the hilltop plaza containing the sites through the large Arcos. To the right is the Alcazaba. Nice gate entrance followed by garden of mainly green shrubbery. Wide walkway through the ruins leading to the main wall and 2 towers. The ruins are not much to see. Little more than holes and some rock walls. But the 2 towers and wall are excellent! Bell tower has interesting side rooms. One has 16 inch stone cannon shot. The old clock mechanism still remains. Nice views at top with bell.
The plaza also has views of the Roman baths and of course the Arcos.
It really is a good visit. Makes a great Antequera day visit with the Dolmens and
The El Torcal rock formations!
If you are heading back to Málaga, take the scenic route back on A7075 until it connects with A7!

The Archaeological Dolmens of Antequera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features three ancient megalithic monuments and an interpretive center. This site houses the Megalithic Necropolis of Antequera, which was established over 6,500 years ago and is one of Europe's most important sites.
Totally enjoyed this. Particularly recommend going into Museo first. Check out some of the diagrams that explain the alignment and definitely watch the 10 minute audio visual presentation. It explains how the Dolmens were made and brings to to life more. We did it the other way around and in hindsight would visit the Museo first.
Also now cannot un-see the sleeping giant!

Loved this space definitely a must if you like history or anthropology. Visit museum first as it gives you all the information about the people who built it , the uniqueness of this discovery and how it became a world heritage site. Very spacious and informative displays and expositions. It's free but remember to pick up your ticket at the museum reception. Make sure to see the short video explaining the construction of the structures. It's totally amazing. Toilets where very clean and installations and facilities where very good. Very well signposted all the way. Don't miss the rock formation opposite the entrance of the Dolmens in the shape of a women s face. There isn't any cafe or restaurants on site but it is very near the town. Probably if you like reading the exposition pieces give yourself 2 hours. Definitely worth a visit for history lovers.

This place is very interesting and very much worth a visit especially for the price. Tickets are needed, but are free and you can get them right there. I would suggest looking at their email contact info and requesting a tour since you will likely have lots of questions and a tour guide would be perfect. If you have a pet you'll have to leave them at home since they are not allowed.

The museum was great! Very informative and free! One to visit if in the area.
Worth noting that you require a 'ticket' to visit the actual site and to go in to them. You need to get these at the museum. It's likely very clear, but we missed this part and had to walk back to the museum to get a free slip of paper to allow entrance. Which in 38 degree heat felt like a mission.

The museum is very smart and modern, but there is very little to see, and nothing to catch the imagination. Children in particular would find it exceptionally dull - and they are the important ones! Unless we missed something? We are adults and found the museum very boring.
Perhaps the museum has opened before it is properly ready, and all the exhibits have not been put in yet?
The caves were interesting, but there was no information about them on the site.
It's a pity that they overlook an industrial landscape, but that can't be helped of course.
The other things you CAN improve!

Great spot to visit structures older than the Stonehenge circle! Ample parking in 2 parking lots. Visitor center with exhibits. Interesting to see how the structures were aligned. Restrooms available. Stop at visitor center first to get your free ticket to see the dolmens. You will be asked to show them before entering. Short walk to the dolmens.
Make a day of it with a visit to Plaza Santa Maria church, Alcazaba, Roman baths, and El Torcal park.

Wow , what a hidden gem! In Antiquera, Spain. Recommend big time. Very beautiful.
The Museo de la Ciudad de Antequera (MVCA) is housed in the 18th-century Palacio de Nájera and is a municipal museum located in Antequera's town centre. It showcases various exhibitions on art, archaeology and ethnology, with a focus on Roman artifacts from the surrounding area. Visitors can explore four floors dedicated to different time periods, including medieval paintings and art.
We happened across this museum while visiting the area.
Really nice museum with lots of information about the local area plus lots of paintings by local artists.

This was a great provincial museum with the main strength in archeology. The Neolithic, Greek and Roman parts were the best, with the Efebo of Antequera gorgeous. There was an Idol of Fertility and a few Roman busts and animal figurines.
The jewelry collection was also outstanding, with emeral being especially prominently present.
The building itself is interesting, with the inner courtyard and a great staircase.
The paintings are of the local interest.
This museum was free at the time of our visit.

Beautiful building in a charming square in the heart of Antequera. Free entry (like so many in Spain) Laid out across four floors the bottom floor contains the pre historic and Roman exhibits. The second is largely Religious paintings/sculptures and gold articles. The third and fourth are devoted to Spanish painters from the 19th and 20th century. They have an exceptional view of a Roman Tomb and a beautiful Roman bronze on the ground floor and other very interesting Pre historic/Bronze and Iron Age finds. Not enough information in English so had to resort to Google translate. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Well worth the low entry fee. The ground floor has the arqueological findings, begining in the paleolithic and extends to the Moorish occupation, with the Roman era well represented. Floor 1 has considerable artwork from the era of the Spanish Empire, especially the standard religious themes (as an atheist, I wish there were more landscapes and other secular work). I admittedly lack the ability to say how good they are, although a few seemed very expressive and connected with me. There are also some large silver ornaments and vestments. The next floor up contains artwork from more recent eras, but being and archeo-nerd, I skipped it.

The Tholos de El Romeral is a Neolithic ruin that dates back to 1800 BCE. This megalithic burial site features a chambered tomb covered by a mound, and it is constructed using the rows approximation technique, which is different from the construction architectonical technique used in the Menga and Viera dolmens. The walls of this sepulchre are made mostly of small stones, and it is commonly referred to as a tholos.
This one is supposedly in its original state, which is perfect! The guide was eager to explain everything in Spanish, but he spoke so well we understood everything. Don't be put off by the path leading up to it. We also visited the museum and the other two dolmen, but this one was our favorite because of the guide. I recommend visiting the area, the museum is nice, too, and will be even better once it's completely finished (currently a few rooms and the bookstore see empty). The tickets are currently free (March 2023).

It is a very long walk from the other two dolmens of Antequera and most of the route is along a very busy dual carriageway without a proper foot path.

Ignacio P. — Google review
First, if using public transit, take bus L1 or L2 - every half hour - from town to hospital then walk 1.7km to the tholos. 1.0km of that walk is along busy highway but paved shoulders are generally wide (some narrower areas).
Crossing busy road unsafe, obviously. Not great access but that's generally the case with most Spanish sites; not quite thinking through the details and ending up with a product that rates a B or B+ and never good enough for an A. Personnel at site just took down number of visitors in party and nationality. No explanations so come prepared with your own info.
It's free so you get what you paid for.

Convento de Belén, located in Antequera, boasts a lovely church and offers visitors the chance to purchase traditional baked goods from the resident sisters. These "naughty nun's treats" include biscuits, cakes, and sweets sold through a small window beyond the convent doors. Visitors can also indulge in homemade cakes available for purchase inside the convent itself. While the beautiful church is worth admiring, unfortunate rainfall prevented any Semana Santa processions from taking place during our visit.
Beautiful convent church also able to buy home made cakes from the nuns in the convent.

(Translated by Google) Although it doesn't look like much from the outside, the church is beautiful.

By the way, they sell some very good sweets in the convent store.

Javier was an excellent guide for the vineyard tour and tapas tasting/lunch. It was a spectacular walk through the process of winemaking and pairing with local food. Truly a highlight of our trip in Spain and a great way to learn about this region. Highly recommend a private tour, if you are able.

We were told this vineyard and experience is an absolute must do when in the area and I could not agree more!
When we arrived earlier today we felt right at ease, everyone is very friendly and it feels like you’re meeting with friends. We really enjoyed all the information about the history, current methods and production of the wine. Javier is really passionate about what he does and that made us as visitors even more enthusiastic. After the guided tour we got to taste an amazing selection of wine with accompanying tapas. We got the right amount of information and private space while tasting which made us enjoy this to the fullest.
Amazing people, working with and on an a fantastic product!
In conclusion; this is an absolute must do!

Extremely impressed by our visit to Gross Hermanos Bodegas, which sells high quality organic wines. Javier gave us an interesting tour of one of the vineyards, which was in a stunning setting just below the Sierra de Chimenea, to explain the growing process. From there we went into the winery itself to see how the grapes were processed and bottled. Under the shade of oak trees we had our wine tasting and tasty tapas, after which we went inside again for a lovely three course lunch and the opportunity to buy some wine. All in all a super day at this delightful family run winery. I would happily visit again and recommend it to anyone in the area.

Visited Bodega Gross Hermanos yesterday and had a great time. The situation of the Bodega, high up on the slopes of the Chimney Mountain, is as dramatic as it is beautiful and Gerardo’s eloquent and informative demonstration of their business made the experience all the more enjoyable.
Wine tasting and tapas was served in the dappled shade of a huge oak tree in front of the Bodega and followed by a tour of the cellars.
No surprise at all that Bodega Gross Hermanos are winning awards for their wines.

Great experience with wide overview on Malaga region wine history. Javier was really hospitable, wines are great and we hope to enjoy some bottles at home.
Tapas were suprisingly huge - made with good understanding of pairing of wines and meals.
Despite almost all the area of MalagaNorth coverred with olive trees and Spanish oaks (in the begginning we could not undertand, how people make wine from olives....), finally we found the best winery in region.
Even there are stereotypes of wines from Rioja, Verdejo, this winery shows their own character and taste charachteristics.
P.S. Road to winery is quite challenging, but it can be reached quite easily (signs are everywhere).

I organised a group trip from our village and I have to say we were so thrilled to go. Firstly the location is just mind blowing.

A wonderful way to spend a few hours in simply breathtaking scenery. The tour we chose to do was the vineyard & winery tour with wine tasting and lunch included. From the very moment I booked our visit, it was clear I´d stumbled across something very special. Its a family business producing high quality organic red wines but what made our day so special were the people themselves. The tour in English was very informative and we all enjoyed it very much, learning has never been so much fun. The lunch itself was superb (a feast) prepared specially by Pilar to strict dietary requirements previously sent by email. All in all great care and attention to detail was evident throughout our visit. I certainly recommend booking this tour with Javier, who has a passion for producing wine and a flare for hospitality. All this set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Great experience... will come again :)

Javier and his family were extremely welcoming and patiently shared their passion for bringing quality Artisan winemaking back to the Malaga region.
We enjoyed a private tour of the vineyard, then by a wine tasting with appetisers followed by a three course meal. Their wine is wonderful, especially the rose (it's no wonder that it sold out so quickly!).
We will definitely return and will be adding an option for our guests to rake advantage of this fantastic experience too 👍😁.
Can't recommend it highly enough!

If you have the opportunity then I would very much recommend the tour and lunch.
We were met by Javier and first given a tour of the vineyards that are in a stunning setting, this is a new family business and they have set up the vineyards and winery in the last 20 years. Javier was an excellent guide and it was interesting to hear the story of the family Gross. Next to the winery to meet Javier's mother who prepared an excellent tapas before we were given a tour of the winery (everything done here on a small scale, organically, and putting quality first).
After the tour some generous wine tasting, and an excellent lunch prepared by Pilar (accompanied by more wine). A truly informative and relaxing day with wine and food !!

Arco de los Gigantes is a significant arch with inscriptions related to Roman Anticaria and surrounding towns, as well as a dedication to King Philip II. It stands as an essential part of the historic area in Antequera, Andalucia. The arch's impressive thickness and Latin tablets lead to a plaza featuring the Alcazaba, Roman baths, and Real Colegiata Santa Maria. Visitors are encouraged to spend time exploring this stunning site while enjoying the beautiful city views.
A must see and entry to the alcazaba and church! Stunning.

Arco de los Gigantes is always open. You can access it at any time you want. It is a gate with a few viewpoints located nearby. You can see it all for free.
To see Alcazaba, you need to pay 3 euro entrance, 6 euros if you add entrance to the Colegiata. We bought the combined ticket for 6 euro - we visited both Acazaba and Colegiata.
It took us 1 hour to see everything. There is an audio guide that you can download on your phone. Must see in Antequera.
Alcazaba, Colegiata, and Arco de los Gigantes - all these places are next to each other.

Large Gate entrance with Latin tablets leading to plaza with Alcazaba, Roman baths, and Real Colegiata Santa Maria.
A must see as part of your visit to Antequera!

Access to the Alcazaba, the Colegiata de Santa Maria la Mayor, and great views
Puff your way up the steps of the Cuesta Barbacana hill and at the top is this gateway.
Built in the mid-sixteenth century, it gives an interesting view of the Colegiata de Santa Maria la Mayor, now unconsecrated as a church and used for concerts. The precinct - Plaza de los Escribanos - on the other side of the arch shows some very attractive little houses, and a good restaurant.
Escribanos - scribes - as this is where the clerics lived and wrote.
Once through the arch you can visit either the church or the Alcazaba, or both! Don't forget to show proof of age for the 65+ reduction in the normal entry fee of €3 for each.

A must visit in Antequera. This historic area of this Andalucian town
Peña de los Enamorados is a majestic mountaintop that boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. This rocky cliff provides challenging hiking trails for adventurous explorers seeking a thrill. Additionally, there is an idyllic village situated near the base of the mountain, which offers a charming and quaint atmosphere for visitors to enjoy. Overall, Peña de los Enamorados epitomizes natural beauty and outdoor adventure, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts and hikers alike.
Probably the most important archaeological view in the World. Why? Because it aligns to the incredible megalithic dolmen de Menga in Antequera. The face of the mountain is "man enhanced", so the question is by whom and why? The answer to these gives mountain the importance it deserves.

(Translated by Google) The Peña de los Enamorados de Antequera is like a lighthouse that brings you closer to the town. Its physiognomy looks like the head of an Indian, looking at the sky. It also includes the legend of the young Moorish woman and the Christian who out of love, upon finding themselves cornered by the forces of the Moorish woman's father, threw themselves into the void from the top of the Peña, from this legend it takes its name.
(Original)
La Peña de los Enamorados de Antequera, es como un faro que te acerca a la localidad. Su fisonomía, parece la cabeza de un indio, mirando al cielo. Recoje además la leyenda de la joven mora y del cristiano que por amor, al verse acorralados por las huestes del padre de la mora, se lanzaron al vacío desde lo alto de la Peña, de esta leyenda toma el nombre.

(Translated by Google) The Lovers' Rock!
The most curious thing is its human face shape and obviously it has its history.
According to popular tradition, a young Christian was captured in the domains of Granada during the medieval period and sent to serve in the house of a rich Moorish family. There he fell in love with his daughter, who returned her love.
Forced to keep their affair a secret, the lovers could only see each other in secret, until one day, tired of hiding their feelings, they fled. But her father was not going to allow such an affront and, accompanied by his entourage, he pursued the couple until he cornered them at the Lovers' Rock. Once cornered, they showed their love by jumping into the void from the top. And from there "Peña de los Enamorados"
It's worth taking photos everywhere!

La Peña de los Enamorados!
Lo más curioso es su forma de cara humana y obviamente tiene su historia.
Según cuenta la tradición popular, un joven cristiano fue apresado en los dominios de Granada durante la época medieval y enviado a servir en la casa de una rica familia mora. Allí se enamoró de la hija, quien le correspondió con su amor.
Obligados a mantener su idilio en secreto, los amantes sólo podían verse a escondidas, hasta que un buen día, cansados de ocultar sus sentimientos, emprendieron la huida. Pero el padre de ella no iba a permitir tal afrenta y, acompañado por su séquito, persiguió a la pareja hasta acorralarla en la Peña de los Enamorados. Una vez acorralados, demostraron su amor tirándose los dos al vacío desde la cima. Y de ahí "Peña de los Enamorados"
Es para sacarle fotos por todos lados!

(Translated by Google) The "Peña de los Enamorados" is a natural enclave very close to the town of Antequera. The rock has an altitude of 878 meters above sea level and is closely linked to the city's profile. Legend attributes the name of the rock to the young people Tello and Tagzona, who decided to end their love by falling off this mountain.

The Dolmen de Viera is a restored burial chamber that dates back to the Copper Age and is located under a mound. It is believed to be approximately 4500 years old and represents the lintelled architecture megalithic tradition of the Iberian Peninsula, similar to the Menga dolmen. This prehistoric monument showcases impressive construction techniques achieved without machinery, which can be observed in a short movie during a free tour of the site.
Fantastic prehistoric monuments, it is unbelievable it was built 4500 years ago without any machines. The part of tour is a short movie showing, how it was built. Free entrance.

Amazing site all dolmens are free but you have to get a ticket from the museum...it also has a map

Bezoek is gratis toch moet je in het gebouw tickets ophalen. Waarschijnlijk voor statistiek en subsides

Clear that not only Asterix and Obelix can make dolmen. Very impressive, big and nice introduction movie. The third one is a little bit further (best by car).

Not as good as the other 2 dolmen but still go in as right next door.
Parque de la Negrita is a top-notch playground in the city, perfect for families traveling with kids who just want to play. The park offers a well-designed children's play area with plenty of shade from the surrounding trees. Additionally, there's a convenient cafe nearby where parents can relax while keeping an eye on their little ones. It's a wonderful spot for kids of all ages to have fun and enjoy themselves, making it a must-visit destination for families looking for some outdoor entertainment.
Best playground in the city, even a restaurant is there less than 10m away with a terrace to drink/eat something while the childrens play.
