Frigiliana
Discover Spain’s most beautiful and well preserved village with a Private Chauffeur Tour
Frigiliana
The heart of Frigiliana is its historic center, which is a maze of narrow, winding streets and alleys. It’s one of the best-preserved Moorish districts in Spain, reflecting the architectural style from when the Moors ruled the region in the 15th century.
As you walk through the whitewashed buildings, you will notice their colorful flower pots and wrought iron balconies. The streets are often steep, giving you panoramic views of the surrounding area and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.
Frigiliana is sometimes referred to as the village of “three cultures,” a nod to the coexistence of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim cultures in the region during medieval times.
Frigiliana is known as the most beautiful of the “Pueblos Blancos,” (small whitewashed villages) that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Its Moorish heritage, whitewashed houses, and narrow streets are complemented by stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean. Frigiliana offers something for everyone. Its charm and tranquility make it a perfect spot for those seeking to experience the authentic beauty of rural Andalusia.
Nerja Caves
Just a short drive from Frigiliana, the Cueva de Nerja is one of Spain’s most important archaeological sites. These caves are famous for their prehistoric cave paintings, impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations, and the world’s largest stalagmite.
The caves are a must-see for history and nature lovers, providing an otherworldly experience and insight into early human life in the region.
A day tour combining the caves of Nerja and the historical town of Frigiliana , its panoramic views, excellent restaurants , tapas, wine bars, olive oils, bespoke art and craft shops , museums and castle make it a popular day tour
