An impressive Moorish fortress, perched high above Antequera. Built by the Moors between the 11th and 14th centuries, it was further expanded after the Christian reconquest in the 15th century. It served both as a defensive structure and as a symbol of power over the valley.

The route follows a winding, scenic road and is particularly rewarding for experienced cyclists. It leads through the rolling hills on the edge of the El Torcal Natural Park, past olive groves and striking rock formations. The constant climbs and descents require some stamina, but are rewarded with sweeping views across the Andalusian landscape. The route is especially atmospheric in the evening when the sun sets behind the mountains and bathes the surroundings in warm, golden light – a spectacular end to a varied stage.

The Camino Real de Carlos III near Antequera was part of the grand royal road built in the 18th century under King Charles III to improve connections between Madrid and Andalusia. In the region around Antequera, the route passed through a particularly scenic area – along the edge of the Torcal de Antequera, between hills, olive groves, and limestone cliffs. The road served as an important trade and travel link between the Guadalquivir Valley, Antequera, and the coast of Málaga. Today, some sections of the historic Camino Real near Antequera are still recognizable and marked as cycle paths. You can cycle along these old trails through a typical Andalusian cultural landscape of grain fields, olive groves, and whitewashed villages. The section leading down from the Torcal de Antequera towards the town is particularly rewarding, offering magnificent views of the Antequera Valley, the Peña de los Enamorados, and the vast plain stretching to the Sierra de las Nieves. The Camino Real was not just a transport route here, but also a symbol of the enlightened reformist spirit of King Charles III, who commissioned the construction of roads, post stations, and new villages to open up and modernize Andalusia. Today, the route invites visitors to hike or cycle along historical paths – amidst history, nature, and impressive geology.
