Torcal de Antequera is a must-see site, less than 50 km from the city of Malaga. It was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 2016. It is one of the most spectacular karstic landscapes in Europe, famous for its various rock formations in the shape of circular depressions, to which it owes its name.

El Torcal de Antequera is a spectacular nature reserve located about fourteen kilometers south of Antequera. The landscape is characterized by unique limestone formations created by millennia of erosion, resembling figures such as towers, screws, or animals. This karst area was formed around 150 million years ago on a former seabed and was later raised by geological processes. Today, the area invites exploration via well-marked trails. El Torcal is a worthwhile destination for cyclists, nature lovers, and geology enthusiasts, especially during the milder months of spring and autumn.
