These photographs represent an ancient history of Antequera. They represent the legend of
Lover's Rock, according to which, in ancient times, Tello, a Christian man (or Hamet, as
other chronic) and Tagzona, a Moorish princess, were rounded up right there, pursued by
her father, the king's subjects, with orders to separate them and make their love impossible.
They said no, and before separating true love, decided to jump and make it eternal.
Near Antequera we find the beautiful natural
