The picturesque village of Frigiliana is a maze of narrow streets packed with charming surprises around every corner. Located near Malaga and the Costa del Sol in southern Spain, Frigiliana is one of the most beautiful examples of Andalucía’s stunning ‘white villages’. Sitting high above Nerja on the side of the Almijara, Tejeda and Alhama mountains, Frigiliana’s whitewashed house are bedecked with colourful flowers bursting from window boxes and hanging baskets outside authentic tapas restaurants and boutiques selling traditional wares. Follow the Rio Higuerón river through the village and very soon you will find yourself surrounded by the hush of running water sheltered from the sun by tall trees in this popular nature spot. Lay out your picnic rug and tuck into local specialities and a glass of sherry.
