Antequera, a populous inland city in the Malaga province, has a rich history of occupation dating back nearly as far as Ronda. However, its archaeological history is distinct, with its most notable assets being the three UNESCO World Heritage neolithic dolmen structures. These impressive structures were built by farming communities approximately 6,500 years ago and are each unique in size and features.
Antequera is about 95 kilometers (around 59 miles) from Ronda by road. The drive typically takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending on traffic and the exact route you take. It’s a scenic drive through the Andalusian countryside, making it a great day trip option between these two historic towns.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
