Frigiliana

A few kilometres from the large city of Malaga is one of the best kept villages you are ever likely to see. This is one of the typical white villages seen in this part of Spain. Frigiliana is usually the first stop on the daily excursions to the world famous Nerja Caves. If you decide to book an excursion here, the tour bus will drop you off here for a while to explore the village before taking you on to visit the caves, after which the next stop will be on the coast at Nerja where you can see fantastic views of the coast and mountains.
This trip is a must if your visiting the Costa del Sol!

Frigiliana

Three photos of Frigiliana, just a few kilometers in land from Malaga.



The first one above is taken looking out over the roof tops from this immaculate white washed village, towards the stunning views of the surrounding country side. This excursion is one of the most popular for holiday makers to the Costa del Sol. If you decide to pay a visit to Frigiliana during the winter months be sure to wear something warm as the temperatures here can be much cooler than down on the coast. The two photos below show the narrow streets where the locals live, spotlessly clean and looking very pretty with the flower pots on the balcony's and doorsteps!

The white washed village of Frigiliana

To the east of Malaga near the coastal resort of Nerja on the Costa del Sol is one of the prettiest villages in Andalucia. The white washed village of Frigiliana was so voted in 1997. Situated near the Almijara Moutain 5kms inland from Nerja and 1,000 feet above sea level Frigiliana has a small population of just 2,000 people many of which are from the UK.

Although Frigiliana is a small village there is no shortage of shops selling the local produce, and small grocery stores, but the locals have to travel out of town in order to find a large supermarket for their weekly shopping. Many of the shops are aimed at the tourists trade and sell their local handicrafts such as ceramics and basket wear.

On the outskirts of the village there is quite a lot of building in progress, but the new buildings must be kept to the same style of the village.
This will then hopefully keep the character of this award winning village!
