The mountain village Frigiliana:
Frigiliana is a beautiful 'white village' within 6 km distance to Nerja. Both villages are connected with a new road. Frigiliana is about 330 m above Nerja, so you can enjoy spectacular views to the sea, the mountains and Avocado plantations. Frigiliana was awarded the title ‘most beautiful village in Andalucia’ in 1998. The village was originally Moorish, which is clearly evident in the narrow, cobbled, streets and the traditional architecture. You will be thrilled by the atmosphere. There are balconies full of flowers and you can sip the famous Frigiliana wine in tiny bodegas. A walk through the village lets you enjoy several centuries of history.
The coast town Nerja:
The Arabs called it 'Narixa' or 'Narija' (abundant fountain) and this location is settled on a magnificent natural spot on the spurs of the Almijara mountain range. Its tropical landscape marked out by plantations of sugar cane, offers on the other hand in its nearby mountains a great deal of small and big game. Its charming popular architecture with the white walls dotted with flowers, oozes Andalusia flavour and it is in harmony with the marvellous view we can admire from the 'Balcon de Europa' situated on a cliff. Nerja also boasts a lively nightlife bases upon typical restaurants, discos, music cafes, flamenco clubs, the well as shops with articles for all tastes. And we have to mention perhaps the most important : 'The Cave of Nerja' - National Monument, is a rocky formation of crystalline dolomites with more than 250.000 years of age, and one of the oldest deposits of the Solutrean culture in Southern Spain.
Eastern Malaga = Axarquia:
The region of Eastern Malaga (Axarquia) is the quiet part of the Costa del Sol. It is developed, but the villages have not been spoilt by mass tourism.

Discover the small beaches, the famous Caves of Nerja and the fabulous Alhambra in Granada. The Costa del Sol (sun-coast) has an average of 320 days of sun per year. The temperature in winter (Nov- Feb) hardly ever falls below 18ºC. So the weather is spring like It is warm enough to sunbath on the beach!
