An walk through karstic rock-formations, risen from the sea in the jurassic age and formed over millions of years. With a visit to Antequera and the Dolmens.

Mountain GoatsThe Torcal is an impressive karst landscape that has been shaped over the years by wind and erosion, which has left a bizarre maze of rock towers. Overlaying strung rocking stones​​, quirky shapes and figures that look like elaborate sculptures. The vast limestone plateau lies at 1100 to 1400 meters above sea level, near the town of Antequera. A conservation park, you should definitely visit.

Our hiking tour leads us through and over rocks, but on a well surfaced paths through the area, offering a breathtaking view over the rocky landscape, the mountains and hills around Antequera. On our way back we stop for a short visit in Antequera, and may enjoy some local specialities (Tapas on the church square), and have a quick visit to the famous Dolmens of Menga (UNESCO World Heritage).
