The Camino Real de Carlos III near Antequera was part of the grand royal road built in the 18th century under King Charles III to improve connections between Madrid and Andalusia. In the region around Antequera, the route passed through a particularly scenic area – along the edge of the Torcal de Antequera, between hills, olive groves, and limestone cliffs. The road served as an important trade and travel link between the Guadalquivir Valley, Antequera, and the coast of Málaga.
