Starting for the Antequera urban area, most part of the route goes next to La Villa River. The route includes a permanent exhibition called “The Textile Industry in Antequera” that aims to show the industrial activity in this field in Antequera besides being an account of the main factories of Málaga and the province.
As a complement to the exhibition, several routes have been designed to know the history, facts and factories that marketed out the La Villa riverbed when passing through the “El Henchidero” former factory centre which, after being restored, is used an Educational Complex.
