Why Frigiliana?
Frigiliana, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain
This is an impressive beautiful white-blue village with some
hidden purples. Frigiliana is considered one of the most beautiful
villages in Andalusia. All the little cobbled streets are
decorated with a bunch of colourful plant pots all around.
Frigiliana belongs to this selected beautiful villages since
January 2015. The Most Beautiful Towns in Spain encompasses those
municipalities with less than 15,000 inhabitants that meet a
series of essential requirements, among which are offering a
quality natural or architectural heritage, in addition to others
attractions and demands, such as urban homogeneity, harmony in the
buildings and materials of the facades and roofs, in addition to
other aspects such as the hotel, festive, leisure, cultural offer,
etc.
Along some walks we can witness the doors and windows painted with
pastel colours and tiny details. In the end of the hills of some
streets we can be lost in the viewpoints. Once it is situated
three hundred metres above sea level we can notice a marvellous
breath taking landscape to contemplate.
This is a perfect spot to have a meal and a glass of wine while
tasting some tapas with a view - after taking some walks. I think
half a day is enough to visit all the village, take some pictures
and enjoy the environment.
No doubt, it is a mandatory trip if you are staying in Malaga for
a few days as I was. If you are looking for peace for a few days,
this is absolutely perfect to stay as well.

WHAT TO DO
What you cannot miss in Frigiliana
The streets
Each corner of the old village has its particular identity, although you will always find cobbled streets, generally steep, and extreme cleanliness, the almost exclusive responsibility of each neighbor, plants and flowers adorning the corners and a whiteness of the facades that fill our rooms with light. streets. And it is that the greatest charm of Frigiliana is precisely its old streets called "casco antiguo".

The plants and flowers
There is a big effort in the village to keep the houses in great condition and to make the narrow streets more attractive with plants and flowers. It is amazing to take side streets and get lost in the hope of finding the most charming streets of all. Not easy to pick one. What a beauty.
