Frigiliana - Nerja, two towns, one destination
Five minute drive from the mountains to the sea.
What more could you ask for!
Frigiliana is a beautiful and historic whitewashed mountain village (pueblo blanco), of exceptional charm. Its cobbled streets and balconies abundant with flowers and the elderly locals sitting outside chatting, make Frigiliana a true Andalucian experience.
Sitting on the side of a mountain, Frigiliana also offers stunning views across the country side all the way down to the Mediterranean.
More about Frigiliana
Frigiliana is situated 5 minutes drive inland from the coast at Nerja. It lies at an altitude of 350 metres.
An extremely pretty village which has received several awards for conservation and beauty. It enjoys spectacular countryside as well as wonderful sea views and good access to the mountains and coast.
Frigiliana consists of two parts. One of Moorish and Medieval origin and the other constructed more recently whilst keeping the architectural style of the old village.
Between the two there are two interesting buildings; the former granary built in 1767 and a 16th century Renaissance palace which is now a molasses factory.
Within the old sector, the narrow, winding streets are full of interesting shops and bars, and twelve mosaics by the artist Pilar Garcia Millan depict the village's history. At the high point of the town there are remains of a Moorish castle. The parish church of San Antonio dates back to the 16th century and houses three excellent 17th century paintings.
The Rio Higuerón flows east of Frigiliana irrigating the area which produces sub-tropical fruits and vegetables. On the drier slopes, olives and grapes are grown and used to make the excellent Frigiliana sweet dry wines.
Just a great place to stay and to walk Andalucia
