If you are an animal lover I can guarantee that you will love The Lobo Park, the wolves are beautiful and well cared for yet are still wild animals, which is so good to see. It has a very different feel to that of a zoo and the staff are clearly educated and passionate about wolves, also really friendly and relaxed. Throughout the tour we were able to ask questions which we answered fully and at length. Our tour had both English and Spanish speaking people and questions asked by either nationality were answered,then translated for all.Informative,educational and really enjoyable! Absolutely recommend that you visit here.

If you have got some time to spare when in Antequera visit this museum. Free entrance. A very well laid out and impressive range of artefacts detailing the history of Antequera back to pre historic times up to recent history. Over 3 floors in a beautiful historic building. Visit here before going to visit the Dolmens as there is a lot of information relating to them. Lots of beautiful religious artefacts in gold and silver. Dont miss it.

9. Dolmenes de Antequera

There are actually two sites, about 10 minutes apart by car. The main site has two dolmens, while there is one dolmen at the second site. The first site has the interpretive center and amenities. There is plenty of parking at both sites. Visiting these sites was a highlight of our vacation. The images that are evoked when you enter the chambers are unlimited. It is amazing how the builders of the dolmens actually achieved what they did with limited technology. Each dolmen has an interpreter. They were very knowledgeable and eagerly answered any questions we had. All in all, an excellent attraction.
