The legend of the Lover's Rock - Antequera - Spain


On the boundary with Archidona is a large hillock that resembles a human-like face laying down, said to be that of an Indian warrior. Legend has it that the rock bore witness to a tragic tale of a love affair between a young Christian from Antequera and a Moorish girl from Archidona. Their love for each other was forbidden due to their religions and they fled to the rock with troops on their heels. Rather than spend a lifetime without each other, they threw themselves from the rock in a loving embrace.

Romantic or what?
