Some information about Antequera, In Andalucia

2004-12-27T15:47:00.000Z

Located deep in the heart of Andalusia, Antequera has been an important crossroads since ancient times. The Romans established a settlement here and named it ANTIKARIA. A city full of history, churches, convents, monasteries and monuments, a climb up to the Alcazaba is a must. Pass through the 400 year old gate of Arco de los Gigantes to visit the 16th century Colegiata Santa Maria la Mayor. The fortress was a stronghold of the Moorish Kingdom of Granada before falling to the Christians in 1410. From the top there are excellent views over the city and the fertile plains.
Antequera has numerous palaces, the most notable being the Palace of Najero now the Municipal Museum. Walk down any one of the streets and you will see ancestral homes with typical Andalusian patios, where the nobility settled during the Renaissance period. A vistit to Antequera would not be complete without seeing the famous Dolmens, ancient burial sites constructed 4,000 years ago by people of which very little is known. Try and figure out how the massive stone slabs could possibly have been transported from Cerro de la Cruz 1 kilometer away. See also the Roman and Arabic baths, and the Roman remains of the town of Singilia, and find time to visit the nuns at the Belen Convent and buy some of their delicious cakes.

Well, it is about inland spain. An area I love and that not much people know about. Many people thing that Spain is only the Costa del Sol, the beach, sangria, sevillana, and all that. But there is more to it.
Inland Andalucia is history, nature, culture, nice people. An ideal area to live in.
Many people thing of coming to live here, and that´s nice, but they should know a bit about the area before they come out, I hope i will be able to help them from here.

So let´s start.
