What to expect
Expect a steady pace through narrow, hilly streets typical of Andalusian towns. The route covers roughly 2–3 kilometres on foot, with stops at major monuments for explanation and photos. Your guide contextualises each site—the Alcazaba's defensive position, the Roman baths' layout and daily life, the collegiate's architectural details—rather than rushing past. You'll finish at Coso Viejo, the social hub where locals gather. The tour works in all weather, though summer heat and winter rain both require appropriate clothing.
Good to know
Moderate fitness needed due to steep cobbled streets and some climbing. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring water in warm months. Public transport reaches Antequera's station easily from nearby towns. The tour is private, so timing can flex slightly. Service animals welcome.
