Glass-walled dining room over the gardens, with Antequera and Málaga-coast cooking and local market-garden produce; free parking.

A dining room full of light
The Parador restaurant occupies a large, glass-walled dining room, open to the gardens, a few minutes' walk from the centre and next to the bullring. It is a modern building, nothing like a historic house, with simple, calm decoration: the option for a long lunch or a dinner without hunting for parking, because the Parador has outdoor parking, and it is free. It is also open to people who are not staying at the Parador.
Paradores describes it as a crossroads between sea and mountain. Antequera lies at the great crossroads of Andalusia, and the menu reflects it: the recipe book of the Antequera vega, the influence of the Málaga coast and local produce from the sierra and the coastline.
What to order
The specialities the house itself highlights are the porra antequerana, a cold tomato and bread cream, a relative of salmorejo; the pío antequerano, a cold salad; gazpacho and, for dessert, bienmesabe and angelorum, two typical sweets of the city. The menu also includes dishes from the Málaga recipe book such as gazpachuelo, migas and stews, and products from the local larder: goat's cheese, molletes, honey and extra virgin olive oil, as well as local confectionery.
If you are visiting Antequera for the first time, the porra and the bienmesabe are the most direct way to taste the city in a single meal. Prices are not published on the listing; check the menu on the Paradores website before booking.
Hours and bookings
The Parador publishes these hours, and warns that they should be confirmed with the hotel:

Lunch: 13:30 to 16:00.
Dinner: 20:30 to 23:00.
Café: 11:00 to 24:00, every day.
Breakfast: in winter, 7:30 to 11:00 Monday to Friday and 8:00 to 11:00 at weekends; in summer, 8:00 to 11:00.

Book a table on the Paradores website, on 952 840 261 or at antequera@parador.es. On a spring weekend, with weddings and celebrations at the hotel, it is worth doing so in advance.
How to combine it
The Parador is a walk from the old town: you can climb the Alcazaba in the morning and come down for lunch, or visit the Menga and Viera Dolmens, on the outskirts, and drive back with no parking problem. El Torcal is about 12 km away; if you do one of the trails at El Torcal in the morning, you arrive in good time for the lunch sitting. With children, the garden has a playground and in summer the hotel opens a seasonal pool for its guests.
