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

Feria de San Bernabe 2025
Feria de San Bernabé in Marbella
Each June, beneath the golden Andalusian sun and the scent of orange blossoms carried on the Mediterranean breeze, Marbella comes alive with the vibrant heart of tradition and passion — the Feria de San Bernabé.
This is not just a festival; it’s a love letter to the soul of southern Spain, where flamenco rhythms echo through cobbled streets and laughter spills from flower-draped casetas.
Hand in hand, couples stroll beneath strings of glowing lanterns, their hearts beating in time with the music, swept up in the timeless charm of Andalusia. The fair is a celebration of joy, of heritage, of romance — where every glance, every dance, every toast of fino under the stars tells a story of love, both new and eternal.
In Marbella, during the Feria de San Bernabé, time slows — and the heart remembers how to fall in love all over again.

Cabo de Gata -Nijar
If you trace your finger along the map of Spain, in the sun-drenched southeast, you’ll discover a quiet stretch where the land meets the Mediterranean in a whisper rather than a roar.
Here, the world seems to pause—no bustling cities, no tangled roads, just a coastline untouched by time. Instead of ports and resorts, you’ll find secret coves with names like whispered stories: Raven, Coal, Bitter Water.
This is Cabo de Gata-Níjar National Park—a wild, windswept sanctuary where the desert kisses the sea and solitude blooms under endless skies.
