an atmosphere more in keeping with a country home than a hotel. All
bedrooms are equipped with Super King size or Twin Beds, have comfortable
sitting areas and are fitted with combination air conditioning and heating
systems. |

-
small town situated approximately 40 kms north of Málaga and just
12 kms south of the famous El Chorro. Typical white village (Pueblo

rule. Virtually destroyed in the 5th century by the Visigoths, and
then rebuilt yet again under the Moors. All that remains is the decorative
steel door and the traditional Arab Mirador. |

| Antequera
- on the main rail line to Granada, is an ordinary, modern town, but
it does have peripheral attractions in a Baroque church, El Carmen, which
houses one of the finest retablos in Andalucía, and a group of three
prehistoric dolmen caves . The most impressive and famous of these is the
Cueva de Menga, its roof formed by an immense 180-tonne monolith. To reach
this, and the nearby Cueva de Viera (same hours), take the Granada road
out of town - the turning, rather insignificantly signposted, is after
about 1km on the left. A third cave, El Romeral (same hours), is rather
different (and later) in its structure, with a domed ceiling of flat stones;
it also lies to the left of the Granada road, 2km further on, behind a
sugar factory with a chimney..... click
