The Michael Hoskin Viewpoint is located in Antequera, next to the Arco de los Gigantes. This viewpoint faces the Peña de los Enamorados and pays tribute to the British archaeoastronomer Michael Hoskin.
Hoskin is known for his research into the orientation of the dolmens of Menga, Viera and El Romeral, which were decisive in the declaration of the Antequera Dolmens Site as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Mirador Michael Hoskin in Antequera is a modern lookout point dedicated to the British astronomy historian Michael Hoskin. Located in the Plaza de los Escribanos, not far from the dolmen complex, it offers impressive views of the landscape, particularly the striking Peña de los Enamorados.
The lookout commemorates Hoskin's important research into the alignment of Antequera's dolmens. He discovered that the megalithic tombs—most notably the Dolmen de Menga—are not aligned according to astronomical celestial events, but rather to specific landscape features. This groundbreaking discovery contributed significantly to the dolmen complex being declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016.
