El Torcal de Antequera offers impressive views of an expansive stretch of dramatic natural rock formations. Limestone from the Jurassic era remained here after the prehistoric sea dried up. The formations left behind now have names: the Sphinx, the Jug, the Camel, the Screw, and more. Keep an eye out for wild roses; orchids, of which there are 30 varieties in the park; and wildlife, such as the Andalusian mountain goat. Scenic viewpoints are accessible from all the hiking trails. As long as it’s not one of the busier weekends of the year, you can take your car all the way to the upper visitors’ center.

  A karst set that is worth a visit. The biggest walk is 2 hours and is quite accessible with children. If you go early in the morning (it's a tip), you'll see ibex.

  Nature is the best sculptor. Rainwater has shaped these rocks and it is up to your imagination to align them with real existing images. Avoid to visit on weekends and try to get their in the morning (10 a.m.). But carry a sweater. It is fresh up there.....

  Nice walk, we took the yellow path, it takes roughly 2 hours. It's not a even pad, you've got to go through and over rocks, but that adds to the environment. We also saw some mountain goats.
