What people are saying about Antequera

The trip was amazing - the dolmens site was quite interesting and impressive, but the Torcal de Antequerra nature park was truly stunning. Our guide Jose Miguel was very informed and polite and made the entire trip much more fun and informative. We had a couple of senior tourists and he helped them every step of the treck.

Very well guided by Jose Miguel. Very friendly and informative. The Torcal Nature area was stunning. Be aware that the walk through the park is quite slippery although we’ll worth the effort. I recommend as a quieter and more ‘of the beaten track’ day out.

Krásný výlet pohodlným autem. Jasný a srozumitelný výklad. Do Parku bychom se jinak nedostali, tohle byla skvělá volba. Počasí vyšlo krásně.

A great walk through geologic formations with spectacular views of the valley below. Not too crowded but well worth the visit!

Very nice but not my cup of tea. But the leader was nice and we loved him. My father and I wish him a huge success.
