Hello travelers! I am Ana :) I consider myself a kind person with people. I love being able to talk about art and culture with others. My training in relation to heritage is quite extensive since I am an Art Historian. My city is Antequera, although I have spent many years in the city of Picasso, Málaga. I have decided to show my city to demonstrate that Antequera is unique, it is surrounded by multiple cultures. Starting from Prehistory to Roman, Muslim or Christian medieval culture. Each church and convent in the city is unique for the history it keeps, for the art they contain; architecture, painting and sculpture. Antequera was declared a World Heritage Site, in my tour we will see all the reasons why UNESCO decided to make my city a special corner of Andalusia.

Tour description

We will begin the visit in the Plaza del Coso Viejo. We will explain why Antequera is a convent city, it is the city that has the most churches by number of inhabitants in Spain. We will go up through the most emblematic streets and visit the Posada de San Fernando, the place where Washington Irving stayed and mentioned in his famous work "The Tales of the Alhambra". In the upper part of the city we will contemplate the Peña de los Enamorados and discover the legend behind the great mountain. We will also see the Arch of the Giants, part of the Wall and the Collegiate Church of Santa María, which was one of the first Renaissance temples in all of Andalusia.

Come and visit the city at night, with totally different lighting, discovering the secrets and history behind every corner, building and monument.
