OUT OF PRINT: David
lives on Antequera. I contacted with him searching information about Singilia
Barba. I tried to contact in two times with archaeologist of Antequera town
hall but was not possible. David, a man in love of the ancient past of
Antequera offered me to visit the ancient town. It was a great evening, giving
a round by ancient Singilia with him. About the theatre... what to tell... it´s
not excavated but is there, I am sure there are good remains of it but not
money for it.
