RESUMEN: El turismo literario define una modalidad de turismo cultural plenamente establecida en la UNESCO a través de la Red de Ciudad de la Literatura; con amplio bagaje en Londres o Paris; de reciente incorporación en la oferta turística de España, donde destaca el paisaje cultural de Barcelona; y prácticamente inédito para el mercado turístico de la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. El paisaje cultural de Antequera ofrece un recurso excepcional para esta reciente modalidad turística, ya que a priori los hitos del paisaje cultural de Antequera suponen un referente para los turistas consumidores de cultura literaria. Es decir, los atractivos literarios del paisaje cultural de Antequera coinciden con los recursos más visitados y atractivos de esta ciudad para el turismo cultural en general. Es más, Antequera ya dispone de dos infraestructuras que darían cobertura al turismo literario, estas son: la Biblioteca de San Zoilo y el Archivo Histórico. Los Dólmenes de Antequera y la Real Colegiata de Santa María, son algunos de los lugares que potenciamos como recursos culturales para el turismo literario.

Do you want to get to know the origins of it? Then you cannot miss a visit to the archaeological complex of the Dolmens of Antequera, built many years ago and declared a World Heritage site on 2016. This incredible place is located only 3km away from the beautiful and modern Parador de Antequera and is definitely a must visit stop in Antequera. The complex is also referred to as the megalithic necropolis of Antequera. The dolmens are built with big rocks that form a type of room with ceiling and walls. There are 3 dolmens in the archaeological complex of the dolmens of Antequera, the Dolmen of Menga, the Dolmen of Viera and the Dolmen of El Romeral. The Dolmen of Menga is the oldest and probably most important one. Is oriented towards the Peña de los Enamorados, a mountain with the shape of the face of a woman. The Dolmen of Viera is oriented towards the sunrise and is located in the first enclosure right next to the Dolmen of El Romeral, in the Campo de los Túmulos. The first stop when visiting this historic wonder is the Center of Reception of the complex, where you can get information and get to know the history and construction of the dolmens before starting the tour.

N. 00653/1 In the past few months, the Order has been preparing for a second beatification, once again, in Spain! This time it is the turn of Br. Leopold of Alpandeire, a friar who is close to our own times. His life was not distinguished for any spectacular works but rather for the simplicity and fidelity he put into everything he did. Of him it can be said that he was before all else a “man of God”, steeped in His Spirit. He was a questing friar, and so would go out every day among the people. His was not a position of power: he simply asked, and left the other person free. He would beg alms to support the friars, and leave the giver, in return, with serenity and peace, gifts of the Spirit. Questing in this form, as Br. Leopold exercised it, has all but disappeared in the Order. However, we do need to discover new ways of being present among the people as “lesser brothers”. “Subject to everyone in this world”, says St Francis in the Praises of the Virtues, to give them an opportunity of sharing and to offer them “His peace”, the peace of the Lord Jesus.

Our most popular tour, you can add tour extensions should you wish to include additional places in your tour.

Day 1: ARRIVAL We collect you in Málaga from the airport, train station or local hotel and, subject to time, we take you to visit the pretty Pueblo Blanco mountain village of Mijas. The Pueblo Blancos are the white villages of Andalucia. Set high above the Costa del Sol with lovely views over the Mediterranean below, you can wander the pretty lanes with colourful trailing geraniums in bright blue pots contrasting against the white walls. Have some lunch in the shady ‘Secret Garden’ of Restaurant/Cafeteria ‘AROMA’ and maybe make some purchases from the craft stores that surround the main Plaza and down the little lanes. The quality of the leather goods in Mijas is exceptionally high.
