Just seven kilometres north of Nerja is the typical pueblo blanco of Frigiliana which sits high on a mountain ridge overlooking the sea with spectacular panoramic views.

Voted the ‘prettiest village in Andalucía’ by the Spanish tourism authority, Frigiliana is also important from an historical viewpoint. El Fuerte, the hill that climbs above the village, was the scene of the final bloody defeat of the Moors of La Axarquía in their 1569 rebellion. The hill is topped by scanty remains of a ruined fort from which some of the Moors reputedly threw themselves rather than be killed or captured by the Spanish. It is said that bones and rusted weapons dating from this encounter still lie among the scrub on El Fuerte.

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 succumbed to the demands of mass tourism with innumerable souvenir shops and overpriced bars.

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.

Blessed with a mild Mediterranean climate, this coastal-rural village has not only survived the influx of foreign residents who have made their homes here but also kept up with the area’s growth into a melting pot of different countries without losing a shred of its original charm.

Surrounded by nature and with plenty of options for exploring in the country as well as the seaside, Frigiliana is the perfect destination for those looking to keep away from the touristy crowds of the Costa del Sol and yet be within easy reach of everything it is famous for.
