Frigiliana Village
Frigiliana is an ancient and historic whitewashed mountain village, pueblo blanco, of exceptional beauty and charm, 60 kms east of Málaga and 6kms into the lower slopes of the Sierra Almijara mountain range behind Nerja. Built into the steep hillside on Moorish foundations, the old cobbled streets, so narrow as to restrict the passage of traffic, are lined with pretty flower-filled windows, alleys and doorways. Water flows freely from the majestic Sierra mountain ranges behind and is used for irrigation of the rich, terraced land which falls away from the village down to the sea. Frigiliana village is just ten minutes' drive away from the beach at Nerja.
Frigiliana has won several awards as the prettiest village in Andalucía. It is a clean and prosperous working village whose livelihood is based largely on the local agriculture. Olive oil is pressed and sold here, as well as moscatel wine, dried figs, molasses and delicious honey. Village life is simple yet well catered for with a local baker, fishmonger, butcher, pharmacy, tobacconist, and wine-merchant as well as several small general grocers and craft shops which provide some village gossip along with your provisions. The villagers are family oriented, respectful, kind and very welcoming. The local bank has the essential cash machine. Numerous bars and restaurants in the village and the nearby countryside serve good, unpretentious local food.
