Nerja & Frigiliana from Málaga and the Costa del Sol

We will pick you up by bus with our guide at the selected time and location to begin this unforgettable excursion to Nerja and Frigiliana from Málaga and the Costa del Sol.

As we leave Málaga and the Costa del Sol behind, we’ll journey along a scenic coastal route through the breathtaking Axarquía region, nestled in the eastern part of the province. Our first destination is Frigiliana, often hailed as one of the most beautiful villages in Málaga. Here, the essence of traditional Andalusian architecture begins to unfold—whitewashed houses, charming cobbled streets, and the enchanting Moorish quarter that whispers tales of history.

Enjoy two hours of free time exploring the picturesque alleys of Frigiliana, such as Hernando el Darra Street and El Garral Alley, where vibrant flowers cascade from balconies, adding splashes of color to the pristine white facades. Marvel at the spectacular viewpoints offering sweeping vistas of the valley and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea—perfect for capturing breathtaking photographs.

At the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, named in honor of the historical coexistence of Jews, Muslims, and Christians, you’ll have the chance to browse a local craft and pottery market. If you’re looking for an authentic souvenir, try the region’s famous cane honey or sweet Axarquía wine—a true taste of Andalusia. To complete your visit, we’ll also enjoy a tasting of local delicacies in one of Frigiliana’s charming establishments.

Our next stop is just 7 km away—Nerja, a stunning coastal town known for its golden beaches, crystal-clear waters, and rich cultural heritage. For many Spaniards, Nerja is synonymous with nostalgia, as it was the filming location of the beloved 1980s Spanish TV series Verano Azul (Blue Summer). This coming-of-age drama followed a group of young friends spending a summer in Nerja, and it became an iconic part of Spanish pop culture. Even today, visitors can see a replica of the famous fishing boat La Dorada in Parque Verano Azul, a tribute to the series’ enduring legacy.

During your three hours of free time, stroll through Nerja’s old town and make your way to its most famous landmark—the Balcón de Europa. This dramatic clifftop viewpoint offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean, stretching as far as the eye can see. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit Burriana Beach, one of the most renowned beaches in the area, proudly flying the Blue Flag for its pristine waters.

Take time to lose yourself in the charming streets of Nerja, where you can indulge in authentic Andalusian cuisine. From freshly caught seafood to traditional tapas, the flavors of the region are a true delight for the senses.

At the designated time, we will reunite for the return journey, bringing an end to this enriching excursion to Nerja and Frigiliana. We’ll drop you off at the same location where you were picked up, leaving you with cherished memories of an unforgettable day on the Costa del Sol.
