Peña de los Enamorados, Limestone mountain in Antequera, Spain.

The Peña de los Enamorados reaches 880 meters in height and displays a natural formation that resembles an Indian face looking toward the sky.

The mountain contains the Abrigo de Matacabras cave shelter, which features Neolithic paintings and connects to the ancient Dolmen of Menga burial structure.

Local traditions tell of two young lovers from opposing clans who chose to leap from the summit rather than face separation during medieval times.

Visitors can access hiking trails to the summit from Antequera, with tourist information available at local offices regarding guided tours and route maps.

The Dolmen of Menga's central axis aligns with the mountain's cave shelter, creating the only known northeastern summer solstice orientation for European tombs.

Location: Málaga Province

Elevation above the sea: 878 m
