bedrooms are equipped with Super King size or Twin Beds, have comfortable
sitting areas and are fitted with combination air conditioning and heating
systems. |

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
