- If you’re looking for something more relaxed, for people with less mobility or families with younger children, then your guided tour is called “El Torcal en Familia“ (only in Spanish)
- If you’re looking for something more comprehensive and exclusive, the “Ammonite Route” is what you need.
The TorcalExpress route will take you through one of the most spectacular areas of the Torcal de Antequera. We begin by visiting a fossilized ammonite footprint site (weather permitting), evidence of the ancient seabed that this area was millions of years ago. From there, we will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of El Torcal, the countryside south of El Torcal and, on clear days, even the coast of Malaga.
The tour continues through one of the icons of the natural landscape: the “El Tornillo” Natural Monument, one of the most photographed figures in the area and another “must-see” of the Torcal de Antequera.
The activity may be cancelled if a minimum number of registrations is not reached, if weather conditions are unfavorable, or due to force majeure. In this case, we will contact registered participants by email to inform them of the available options.
