Antequera on the way to Seville

Well, the decision to hire a car 🚗 and drive to Seville rather than train or bus it meant visiting Antequera on the way.
This was a nice addition to our trip...
We had time to visit two sites.
The Alcazaba of Antequera is a centuries-old Moorish fortress. It is thought to be built around 12th century. Old Roman ruins can be seen indicating it was built atop. Not as grand as Granada's Alcazabar but still interesting with great views of its surrounds.
Next door, a church Santa Maria built in the 16th century, one of the first Renaissance buildings in Andalucía. It's austere simplicity compared to the other churches/cathedrals visited was still impressive.
After a lovely lunch (the best gilda and olives) 🫒 we continued on to Seville. We found our apartment where we are staying till the 26th and then headed out to investigate our surrounds. Beautiful warm and sunny evening. I love the warmth and light evenings xRead more
