Easter in Antequera (Updated 2026)

Excellent trip. The meeting point was the bus stop next to the Civil Guard building at Plaza Castillo and our guide, Justine, pulled up in a mini bus around 10 minutes before the meeting time. You need to be on time or message the company to let them know if you are running a couple of minutes late as they set off bang on time. Justine was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and interesting and pointed out several fossils at El Torcal which I'm sure we'd have missed if we'd been on our own. We got some amazing photos of the Dolmens and El Torcal and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. A bit thank you to Justine.

The experience has been wonderful. The guide, Natacha, is very good and makes it so that, with the passion and knowledge she conveys, one feels transported back in time. A highly recommended experience that we will undoubtedly repeat.

El Torcal is beautiful, especially this May during wildflower season, and Justine is an amazing guide. She led us away from where most tourists go, and provided just the right combination of information, direction and quiet time to enjoy the surroundings. She was equally adept at leading both children and adults.

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide. Visit with private guide highly recommended

I enjoyed the solo tour very much. The historical information and anecdotes were very interesting. The platform allows you time to linger and focus on a particular location or rewind and hear the information a second time if you want. It will also let you know if you’ve gotten off course in a funny way which is easy to do. You won’t get a deep dive into the major monuments like the Alcazar, but it makes sense because these should be stand alone visits if they really interest you. Make sure you charge your phone and have your earbuds!

This self guided tour took me to places I wouldn’t have otherwise found. It was very informative and easy to follow. Very enjoyable experience

Natasha is an excellent guide. Her extensive geological knowledge is complemented by humor and accessible explanations. I was also impressed by her love for El Torcal and her love for the environment. El Torcal is a place that is difficult to explore independently, so a guide is essential. It's truly a fantastic place, exceeding expectations. Be sure to visit.

A great day. Our guide was excellent. The nature is lovely. We are all pleased. This is more than worth the money.

Antonio did a wonderful job sharing his hometown with us. Well worth a visit to this charming and interesting city sitting at the intersection of several cultures through the ages. Thank you Antonio. We look forward to our return!

We spent an amazing week in Antequera, all organised by Hennie and Andy at The Mission Adventure Holidays and Tours. They organised everything immaculately from airport transfers and accommodation to local tours and activities. We are a family of four of all ages and they cleverly found something of interest for everyone. We saw so much in a week but also had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the wonderful local bars and restaurants and explore the pretty town. We visited the fascinating Prehistoric Dolmens, where Andy’s insight and enthusiasm made it so interesting. We hiked the stunning Torcal National Park and did lots of nature and birdwatching trails around Antequera. Hennie has particular interest and knowledge of the local flora and fauna and we were lucky enough to see so much bird life including the famous storks and flamingos, beautiful orchids and we even picked wild garlic and asparagus. I can’t recommend using The Mission Adventure Holidays and Tours enough, their attention to detail, seamless organisation and first class activities and tours are unmatched. We can’t wait to return next year!

Good place, lots to see, the Dolmens were interesting, Lobo Park was brilliant, well worth a visit. Some good restaurants around too.

Guide of the best and an exemplary sympathy.

It was a very nice and interesting program. We learned new things about the dolmens. El Torcal was very beautiful with its incredible formations. This part of the program could have been a little longer, with more hiking trails.

Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us and it was not possible to see much of El Torcal. But Anton, our guide, was wonderful. After gallantly battling with the elements, he accepted the inevitable and arranged an alternative tour of Antequara on the fly which was informative and interesting. Anton is a great asset to your company.

I was amazed by the mountains, the pattern is really very diferent from anything I've ever seen. I considered the trail easy to follow. It's important to know that taking the trip from Málaga, they don't get you back to Málaga. They give you a bus ticket to get back, so you have free time to explore the city of Antequera (which I did). The city is very small, but very charming. If you don't want to explore the city, they take you to the bus station to get the next bus.

Exceeded expectations. Great guide, nice group. Beautiful scenery that we could not visit on our own.
