Rural Tourism has in recent years, become a popular alternative for many people attracted to the wealth of culture and tradition waiting to be discovered in these quiet backwaters in Andalucia, like the Antequeria region for example. Towns such as Villanueva del Rosario, Archidona, Villanueva del Trabuco and Salinas, display customs and cuisine very different to those on the busy Costa del Sol.
The Moors during their 800-year presence in this unique region of Spain naturally embellished these inland Towns in Andalucia with a cultural and architectural heritage that still exists today. Bathed in such a rich tapestry of history, it is sometimes hard to accept that as a visitor you are really standing in the 21st century.
