El Torcal

El Torcal

El Torcal is a nature reserve west of the Poniente and above the town of Antequera. It is one of Europe’s most outstanding examples of Karst topography.

There are three trails from which visitors can choose. J and I arrived relatively early on a very busy day. It was actually hard to leave the park with all the vehicles heading in.
