At first light the valley calms and a wicker basket rises into a pale Andalusian sky. From the balloon you see Antequera’s UNESCO‑listed Dólmenes, the sculptural silhouette of the Peña de los Enamorados and the karst plateaus of El Torcal laid out like a miniature landscape—an aerial perspective the ground never reveals.
