Frigiliana: incredible views to the sea and beautiful arab style in the streets
Frigiliana is in the eastern part of the Axarquía region, on the southern slopes of the mountains, just on the border of the Sierras de Tejeda y Almijara Nature Park. To the north-west the municipality borders on Cómpeta, to the west, Torrox and to the south, Nerja. Just seven kilometres north of Nerja is this typical pueblo blanco of Frigiliana which sits high on a mountain ridge overlooking the sea with spectacular panoramic views.
Due to its geographical position, Frigiliana has a very special micro-climate, with an average annual temperature of 18 ºC. This means that the winters are mild and the summers warm. The rainfall is low, annually around 600 litres a square metre. All of this makes the spot a unique natural paradise.
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.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 hasnt yet succumbed to the demands of mass tourism with innumerable souvenir shops and overpriced bars.
