Frigiliana
is voted the 'prettiest village in Andalucía' by the Spanish tourism authority. The village is a tangle of narrow cobbled streets lined by whitewashed
houses, their wrought-iron balconies filled with planters of brilliant red geraniums.
Small plazas provide shady seating while the village bars are popular with visitors who come here to taste the locally produced wine. There are also
several excellent shops selling pottery and ceramics, including decorative plates with their distinctive Arab design.
Frigiliana is best explored by foot. There are several buses a day that run from Nerja or, alternatively, leave your car at the car park at the bottom
of the hill. Although the village is deservedly on the coach tour circuit, thankfully it hasn't yet wrenched to the demands of mass tourism with
innumerable souvenir shops and overpriced bars.
Get a taste of the real Spanish life style in Frigiliana, the perfect place for your home or summer house!
