Antequera is a medieval
market town which is known as heart of Andalucia because of it’s central
location between Malaga, Granada, Sevilla and Cordoba. The town has excellent
motorway access and is approximately 45 minutes from Malaga airport and
Granada airport and about 5 minutes from the new Antequera airport which
is due to be completed in the next few years. Antequera is only 1 hour drive
to the coast, this has made it very popular with people looking to buy inland
but still close to the cost and all it facilities.
To the north of Malaga province in Andalucia, 19km from Antequera is the Laguna de Fuente de Piedra, a famous beautiful lagoon. The largest natural lake in the Iberian Peninsula at 2.7km wide and 6.5km long, it is a haven for birds with over 170 different species recorded here.
Apart from its abundant aquatic birds, it is well known for its flamingo population, the second largest colony of these birds in Europe after the French Camargue region and the only inland site on the continent where they breed. In spring flamingos flock here in their thousands to reproduce, attracted by the water's high salt content and the fact that it is shallow.
