In the heart of Alameda stands the monument to José María Hinojosa Cobacho, better known as "El Tempranillo," one of the most famous Andalusian bandits of the 19th century. The bronze statue depicts him in a typical rebel and folk hero pose and is located on Calle Álamos, not far from the town center. El Tempranillo was born in 1805 in Jauja, near Lucena, and joined a band of highwaymen at a young age. Over time, he became a legendary figure, both feared and revered by the local population—a symbol of resistance against social injustice. After being mortally wounded in a raid in 1833, his body was brought to Alameda, where he died and was buried in the Church of the Immaculate Conception. The monument and his grave are now part of the "Ruta del Tempranillo," a cultural route that traces the life of the bandit. They are reminiscent of a time when outlaws and folk heroes often lived close together, making Alameda an important place in Andalusian history and legendary culture.

Alameda is a picturesque village that captivates visitors with its tranquil atmosphere and historically rich surroundings. Encircled by expansive fields and rolling hills, it offers ideal conditions for cycling tours through the Andalusian hinterland. The whitewashed houses, narrow streets, and shady squares lend the village its typical Andalusian charm. At its heart lie the Church of the Immaculate Conception and the Placeta Fountain, reminders of the village's Roman roots. Alameda is particularly famous for the legend of the bandit José María "El Tempranillo," whose monument and tomb are now popular destinations for visitors. The surrounding area is easily explored by bicycle – passing olive groves, old farmhouses, and quiet paths that offer a glimpse into rural Andalusia. Alameda uniquely combines history, culture, and nature, making it an ideal starting point for peaceful, enriching tours away from the crowds.

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.

In the heart of the historic cityscape rises the Plaza de Toros de Antequera, one of the oldest and most prestigious bullrings in Andalusia. Opened in 1848, the arena seats approximately 8,000 spectators and exemplifies 19th-century Andalusian architecture with its clean, circular form and light-colored facades. For decades, it has been the venue for important corridas as well as social and cultural events. An integrated bullfighting museum commemorates this long tradition and Antequera's role in the history of Spanish bullfighting.

The Antequera Bullring (Plaza de Toros de Antequera) is one of the oldest and most important bullrings in Andalusia. Opened in 1848, after construction began in 1847, it is a prime example of 19th-century Andalusian architecture. The arena seats approximately 8,000 spectators and is distinguished by its elegant, circular shape and white facades accented with sandstone. The facility was built on the initiative of local nobles and citizens, as bullfighting was an important part of the regional culture at the time. Over the years, numerous important corridas were held there, featuring renowned matadors from all over Spain. Besides bullfighting, the arena also served as a venue for festivals and cultural events. Today, a small bullfighting museum (Museo Taurino de Antequera), housed within the arena itself, commemorates this long tradition. The arena displays costumes, bullfighting posters, and historical photographs documenting the development of Andalusian bullfighting. To this day, the arena remains a symbol of Antequera's historical significance in the Spanish bullfighting tradition.

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.
