Inhabited since the Bronze Age, there are fascinating monuments everywhere: tombs which date back to 2,500 BC, Roman baths, a 13th Century Moorish castle, Baroque churches and Renaissance palaces remain to pay tribute to the strategic importance of Antequera in days gone by. The town, and the vast fertile valley which spreads out beyond it to the north, are overlooked by an almost vertical, 800 metre high, limestone outcrop, La Peña de los Enamorados, "The Lovers' Leep", where legend has it that two young lovers, a Christian man and a Moorish woman, hurled themselves from the top rather than renounce their illicit love. To the south, southeast and southwest of Antequera, deep in the heart of the Province of Málaga, some of Andalucía's most striking scenery and pretty villages are to be found.
