From the summit of the Sierra of the same name, the view from the Mirador de la Camorra stretches across four Andalusian provinces: Málaga, Sevilla, Córdoba and Granada. The panorama also includes the Laguna de la Ratosa and the Laguna de Fuente de Piedra. The viewpoint is at an altitude of about 700 metres and can be reached by car or on foot via a paved path. A separate hiking option is Stage 16 of the GR 249, described as a route from Cuevas Bajas to Alameda. Its endpoint is on the border between Mollina and Alameda; the stage passes through the wider Antequera area. The Mirador is a specific summit destination; the stage, by contrast, describes a route with its own endpoint.

Agriculture, Literature and Crafts

The Centro Temático del Campo Andaluz focuses on traditional olive and wheat cultivation and harvesting. An oil mill, a beam press and agricultural tools illustrate this work. The same centre displays poems by the poet Antonio Muñoz Rojas, who was awarded the Premio Nacional de Poesía. The texts about rural life are from his book “Las cosas del campo”. Stone-lime work is also one of the exhibition topics: it is presented as a traditional craft of importance to the local population. Lime was used to give houses in Andalusia their characteristic colour. Agriculture and tools, literature and crafts thus highlight different aspects of rural life.

Roman Baths and Bathing Culture

The Centro Temático de las Termas Romanas divides its exhibition into six thematic areas. It covers Roman society, how the different rooms in the baths functioned and varying ideas about bathing. The timeline extends from the Classical Greek period to modern-day spas; Arab and Christian bathing traditions are also covered. The centre is next to the archaeological site of the Roman baths and the Chalcolithic necropolis in Alameda. The six thematic areas thus go beyond Roman antiquity, exploring different periods and traditions of bathing.

Tomb of “El Tempranillo”

The tomb of José María Hinojosa Cobacho, known as “El Tempranillo”, is in the courtyard of Alameda’s parish church. Access to the courtyard and the route to it involve stairs; take this into account when planning your visit. Guided tours of the tomb are available. If you would like to plan your visit around a guided tour, check the specific date in advance.
