The city gate of Antequera was built in 1749 in the Baroque style, demolished in the 19th century, and faithfully reconstructed in the 1990s. Today, the Puerta de Estepa is a symbolic gateway to the city.

The Parish Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestra Señora de la Inmaculada Concepción) is the main church of Alameda and is located in the town center. Built in 1633, it has been expanded several times over the centuries, including the 18th century with the addition of side aisles and a Baroque chapel. The church displays typical elements of Andalusian Baroque architecture, with a simple stone and brick facade and a striking round-arched portal. Inside, the high nave, flanked by two lower side aisles, and a barrel-vaulted ceiling create a harmonious atmosphere. The church is particularly famous as the burial place of the legendary bandit El Tempranillo, who died in Alameda in 1833. It also houses an elaborate image of the Virgen de los Dolores (Virgin of Sorrows), created in 1940 by the sculptor Castillo Lastrucci. The church is now a listed building and is considered one of the most important historical buildings in the town, combining both religious and cultural history.

The Puerta de Estepa city gate is one of Antequera's most striking buildings and marks the historic entrance to the city. It is located at the end of the Alameda de Andalucía, very close to the Plaza de la Constitución, where the modern city merges into the historic old town. The gateway with its three round arches was built in 1749 in the Baroque style and once served as a welcoming gateway for travelers coming from the direction of Estepa. The structure was demolished in the 19th century but faithfully rebuilt in the 1990s. Today, the Puerta de Estepa city gate is a popular photo opportunity and a symbolic gateway to the city. The view of the old town through the arches is particularly impressive.

The section near Alameda is a particularly attractive route for cyclists, leading through vast olive groves and rolling hills. The landscape is characterized by typical Andalusian agricultural landscapes, small farms, and extensive olive plantations that stretch for miles. The focus of this bike tour is less on the physical challenge and more on enjoying the peace, nature, and characteristic Andalusian scenery. The road offers numerous opportunities to take in the surroundings at your leisure and experience the beauty of the olive groves up close.

The Puerta de Estepa is an imposing 18th-century gateway and one of Antequera's most recognizable monuments. It once formed part of the old city walls, welcoming travelers entering the city from Seville and Estepa. With its classic Baroque style and the city's coat of arms, the gate offers a wonderful photo opportunity and a reminder of Antequera's rich past.
