Parador de Antequera

Modernist architecture meets Andalusian tradition at this hilltop dining room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sweeping plains of the Vega de Antequera. This is a place for those who appreciate the robust, unadorned flavours of the inland provinces. The kitchen prioritizes seasonal produce, with the *porra antequerana*—a thick, chilled tomato-based cream—standing out as the definitive local starter. Follow it with slow-roasted kid goat, a regional staple prepared with precision. The atmosphere is quiet and professional, making it an ideal choice for a long lunch after exploring the nearby dolmens or El Torcal. While the building leans towards 1970s functionalism, the service remains classically formal. Reservations are advised on weekends, especially if you hope to secure a table with a panoramic view of the olive groves.
