This time, park in Plaza Castilla where you will find an extraordinary statue of the Lovers of the Peña. On the other side of the junction, there is the bullring, a really pretty one with a museum to visit and a restaurant which serves delicious food. The Museum is open Tuesday to Saturday 10 to 2, 4 to 7 and Sunday 10 to 2.
On Tuesday there is a market in the park behind the Bullring. At the top end of the main street, the part called Calle Alameda, you will find several bars and restaurants. For breakfast, try the churros and chocolate in A La Fuerza! The terrace bars are very popular in the evening.

After some refreshment, continue walking down the street which becomes Calle Infante Don Fernando, named after the man who wrested the city from the Moors. Apart from having more banks than anything else, this street has four wonderful churches and a beautiful Town Hall. Although monuments, which include churches, are now open daily, for some it is in the morning, others the afternoon. Walk down the street away from the bullring and you will first find the Church of San Juan de Dios on your right. This recently restored 17th Century Church is famous for its beautiful ceiling plasterwork of foliage, animals and cherubs, considered to be the best work of its kind in Andalucia. Its façade is composed of stone taken from the Roman city of Singhilia Barba. Part of the building was the original hospital which is now being renovated.

The next lovely church in the street is that of Los Remedios, on the left hand side of the road a little further on. Open Mon to Fri 6 to 8pm. Sat 7 to 8pm.and Sunday 11 to 1.30, 7 to 8pm There is a delightful patio, astonishing mural and ceiling paintings and a majestic altar screen. The statue of the Virgin was the first in Antequera to be crowned.

Next to this is the beautifully restored convent which is now the Town Hall. Enter by the side street, Tercera, to visit the pretty patio and the gorgeously decorated Sala de Bodas upstairs. On the main street, you will find an entrance to the Exhibition Room where, at the moment, they have an exhibition of photos and poetry.

Further along the road is the Church of San Agostin, a 16th century church known for its altar, stations of the cross and depiction of the life of St. Agostin. Open Thursday to Sunday 11 to 1.  Behind the church is the restaurant Meson Juan Manuel, great for tapas and meals and especially Sunday lunch for which you must book!

At the end of the street there is the renaissance square of San Sebastian with a fountain dating back to 1544 and an 18th Century archway. The Church of San Sebastian is the principal church of Antequera built in the baroque-mudejar style. The lovely green-tiled tower, which can be seen from all over town, has a weather vane, El Angelote. Inside you can admire the choir stalls and the baroque organ which has recently been restored.

Just round the corner in Calle Encarnación is the Tourist Office. Walk down this street to Coso Viejo, a pretty square where you will find the City Museum. Inside the porch you will find a bell to ring for admittance. There are guided tours every half an hour (some English spoken). It is well worth a visit to see the famous Roman statue, El Efebo, Roman remains, religious art and artefacts which include decorations for Easter processions. The building itself is the Palacio de Nájera. Open Tues to Wed 10 to 1.30, 4.30 to 6.30, Sat 10 to 1.30 and Sunday 11 to 1.30.
