Detailed itinerary
1
Often ranked among the prettiest villages in Spain, Frigiliana is a whitewashed gem perched in the Sierra de Almijara. Wander its narrow cobblestone streets, where colorful flower pots line bright walls and Moorish architecture peeks through at every turn. The views over the valley and sea are just as breathtaking as the town itself.
2
Down by the coast, Nerja blends laid-back seaside vibes with Andalusian charm. Stroll past small boutiques, white buildings, and palm-lined squares on your way to the Balcón de Europa, a dramatic viewpoint that offers sweeping views over the Mediterranean. Nerja’s relaxed atmosphere and ocean breeze make it a favorite among locals and travelers alike.
3
Nerja Caves (optional entry). A short drive from the center, the Cueva de Nerja is one of Europe’s most spectacular cave systems. Inside, massive stalactites, prehistoric rock art, and cathedral-like chambers await. Entry is optional and tickets can be purchased on-site, depending on availability and your preferences.
