Pizarra is a town and municipality in the centre of the province of Málaga, part of the autonomous community of Andalusia in southern Spain.

Leaving our first hotel, we will pass through Pizarra and start our journey to Antequera following parts of the Rio Guadalhorce and many of the old roads that link up the market towns along the route, including Álora and Valle de Abdalajis, before we arriving in Antequera.

Antequera is known for its ancient burial mounds and the Alcazaba of Antequera, which is a centuries-old Moorish fortress. The vast nature preserve of Torcal de Antequera has dramatic limestone tower rock formations and, overlooking the town, Peña de los Enamorados is a distinctive face-shaped mountain, which we will be able to see as we approach from the west of the city on our bikes.
