Parador Hotel Antequera

This spacious, quiet Parador is surrounded by lush green gardens, a refreshing swimming pool (seasonal) and is close to the provincial towns of Andalusia.

Antequera has a rich historical and artistic heritage. It was used by King Fernando, the Catholic, as the base of operations during his Granada campaigns.

The town is surrounded by a fertile plain and “El Torcal”, an area with interesting geological formations.

This modern Parador is ideal for holding social gathering and, for those who want to experience total relaxation, this is the perfect retreat.

This Parador has 4 double bedrooms, 48 twin bedded rooms, 4 junior suites and 2 rooms for the disabled. All the rooms have air conditioning, TV with canal plus, free internet access, minibar, safe and telephone.

The rooms are spacious and decorated in light shades of colour which compliment the rich wood of the ceilings, walls and floors.

The modern leather furniture is classical and functional in style and the impression is one of relaxed elegance.
The restaurant, as is usual in the Paradores, specialises in the traditional local dishes of the area, in this case, Malaga. It also has a gluten free menu.
