Frigiliana
A white mountain village often named one of Spain's most beautiful, with Moorish-style narrow lanes paved in cobblestones and flower pots hanging by every door.
Frigiliana sits on a hillside about 6 km north of Nerja. The old town keeps a maze of streets from the Moorish era, and its whitewashed walls, flowerpots and mosaic paving make it very photogenic. Ceramic murals in the lanes tell the story of the 16th-century Morisco uprising. Every late August, the Three Cultures Festival commemorates the coexistence of Christians, Moors and Jews. A minibus from Nerja takes about 15 minutes. The streets are steep, so wear comfortable shoes.
