Yes: Antequera is already a tourist destination in his own right with UNESCO Dumens from 2016 and El Torcal with more of 300.000 visitors a year. Bliss will sign a rental contract with a fixed rental from 800 to 1.700 € / month as per typology, free processing of VT license (28 / 2016 Andalucía) at 8-10 and no moratoriums are available in the municipality. Valid for both the rental and rental flats and for houses or signor houses.
The Owner's Problem at Antequera
Antequera lleva años acumulando reconocimientos que justifican la visita: los Dólmenes de Menga, Viera y El Romeral —Patrimonio de la Humanidad UNESCO desde 2016— son el conjunto megalítico más completo del sur de Europa. El Parque Natural El Torcal, con su paisaje kárstico de roca caliza moldeada durante millones de años, atrae más de 300.000 visitantes al año. La Laguna de Fuente de Piedra es una de las colonias de flamenco rosa más grandes del mundo. Y Antequera está en el cruce de caminos de Andalucía: a setenta kilómetros de Málaga, Córdoba, Granada y Sevilla.
That's what tourists know about. What many owners at Antequera have not yet assumed is that their municipality is no longer a place of passage but a destination in itself with growing cultural tourism demand. Two situations are repeated as we speak with local owners:
The owner of a signage or wedding house that doesn't exploit her turistically because she doesn't know she can. Hay propietarios en Antequera con inmuebles de enorme valor arquitectónico —caserones del XVIII con patios, caserías con huertas y olivos en el entorno del Torcal, cortijos en la vega— que nunca se han planteado el alquiler turístico porque en su imagen mental Antequera no es un destino turístico. La realidad ha cambiado más rápido que su percepción.
The owner with several real estate that doesn't want to complicate his management. There are families in Antequera with scattered heritage - a flat in the town centre, a village house in a nearby cortijo - that have already been rented and have been unable to consider tourist rental because of the complexity of management they imagine. In the R2R model, Bliss takes care of all that management and the owner gets a fixed income.
The time to get into tourism at Antequera is now. The demand's growing and the interiors' hotel offer isn't fully covered. The well-run tourist housing has less competition than in saturated coastal areas.

If you have no tourist license in Andalucía
The tourist housing in Antequera is governed by Decree 28 / 2016 of 2 of February of the Board of Andalucía (BOJA 11-02-2016), modificado por el Decreto 31/2024. El proceso es una declaración responsable ante la Provincial Delegation of Tourism of MálagaThat automatically generates registration with the Tourist Register of Andalucía (RVTA number). The RVTA should appear at all ads on OTAs platforms.
The requirements are as usual in Andalucía: living paper currently in place, energy efficiency certificate (minimum E), minimum equipment (kit, extinguisher, evacuation instructions) and visitation book. The autonomous tourist registration code (RVTA) is the identifier that platforms require to publish the announcement.
Antequera No active moratoriums for tourist housing in rural and interiors. The usual term of office 8 to 10 weeks. If the property is inside the Natural Park of El Torcal (the protected area itself, and not the municipality), additional environmental compatibility report would be required. For most properties in Antequera municipality, the process is the unrestricted standard.
In the guaranteed rental model, Bliss fully takes care of processing and its costs. Mientras la licencia se gestiona, podemos arrancar con alquiler temporal (art. 3 LAU).

A real profile: the wedding of the Fernandes- Wheel
Una familia antequerana con una casería de tres habitaciones, jardín y huerto en el entorno del Torcal, a cuatro kilómetros del casco urbano. La usaban en Semana Santa y en agosto. El resto del año, cerrada. Generaba gastos de mantenimiento del huerto y del jardín, más IBI y seguros.
Bliss handled his statement with the Málaga Tourist Delegation and his release at RVTA. Fixed income proposal: 1.300 € / month. The house only required equipment: hotel bed linen, kitchenware, digital lock and professional photo. The announcement focused on the proximity to Torcal and Dumens. The first spring season closed with more jobs from the 60%. The family paid them every month, including those for winter.

How long does the tourist license at Antequera take?
Between 8 and 10 weeks. The standard process of Andalucía: a responsible statement and registration with the RVTA, the autonomous code that today demand the platforms. No additional environmental report for most local property.
What regulations govern tourist housing at Antequera?

The current identifier is the autonomous code (RVTA) and the July single state registry of 2025 was annulled by the Supreme Court in May of 2026.
I have an garden house. Do you apply the model?
The garden houses of the Antequera area are exactly the type of product that the rural tourist wants. If you have basic habitability and mobile access, we can evaluate them. The rents range from 1.000 to 1.600 € / month according to installations.
Do Bliss manage houses in the historic town of Antequera?
Yeah. The historic town's apartments and houses, close to the Arco de los Giants or the Colegiata de Santa María, are especially attractive for cultural tourists. The license process is the standard of Andalucía.
The demand at Antequera's only first-fall?
Spring and autumn are the natural peaks. The summer has demand for tourists fleeing from the heat of the coast. Winter has some demand for cultural shortcuts. With active management and dynamic prices, the annual distribution is reasonable.
¿Es posible alquilar una casa señorial grande de 6-8 habitaciones?
Yeah. The large signor houses are very attractive for groups, families and retreats. They are the most difficult type of property to manage individually but that can have a good performance with a professional operation.
What if the building's close to Torcal?
If you are within the protected area of El Torcal Natural Park, additional environmental report will be required. If you are in the environment but outside the protected area (most rural properties of the municipality), the process is the standard of Andalucía without an additional report. Bliss checks every case.
