About Frigiliana
Frigiliana has been voted the most beautiful village in Andalusia multiple times and enchants visitors with its flower-adorned, bright white streets that cling to a steep hillside above the coast. The Moorish heritage is omnipresent: The old town Barribarto, with its winding alleys, colorful ceramic tiles on the house walls, and Arabic arches, tells the story of the last Moorish rebellion in the 16th century. German tourists often discover Frigiliana as a day trip from nearby Nerja, but often stay longer than planned because the atmosphere is so irresistible. From the viewpoints, there is a magnificent view over the subtropical terraced gardens down to the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of the Sierras de Tejeda Natural Park. The village is famous for its sugar cane syrup, which is still produced today in the last sugar cane factory in Europe, and for its lively Festival of Three Cultures, which celebrates the Christian, Moorish, and Jewish heritage.

Insider knowledge that makes your holiday better.
Definitely try the Miel de Caña and take some as a souvenir - it is only available here
The Festival of Three Cultures in August is spectacular, but the village is very crowded then
Nerja with its famous cave is only 6 km away and worth a half-day trip
Come early in the summer mornings when the streets are still cool and empty - it can get very hot during the day
