Frigiliana
Barely 5km inland from Nerja lies one of the most beautiful villages
of Spain that has won many national and regional awards to prove it.
With a population of around 2,000 it is cared for day-by-day, to keep
up its high standards. Situated in the foothills of the Almijara mountain
range, Frigiliana has spectacular views of the Higueron River which
lies in the Chillar Valley. It has a sub-tropical climate which has
attracted population since pre-history. The Romans built a fort here
but unfortunately it no longer remains. The history of the village is
pictured in 12 mosaics in the old quarter, created by Pilar Garcia Millan.
Brightly painted houses with colourful doors adorn the narrow passages.
There are many fine restaurants hidden away and you must seek them out.
You will find ample tiny shops in which to buy the local handicrafts
which include fine basket ware, linen and lace as well as beautiful
ceramic wares but you will not find supermarkets and large stores.
At the foot of the village new houses are being built but unusually,
they have been kept in character with the rest of the village - white
painted and typically rectangular in design. The village has a very
cosmopolitan population including many English people escaping the chaos
of the coast around Nerja.
Nearest Airport - Malaga, approx one hour's drive.
Coast - Nerja is approx 5 minutes drive.
