Frigiliana, Luz de Andalucía

En la Costa del Sol

Our village, given its situation between the sea and the mountains, offers many possibilities for walking along different routes where you can enjoy the beautiful panoramic views. With our Almijara Mountains in the background you will truly feel as though you are walking in paradise.

Casco antiguo morisco

The town is 6kms from the seaside town of Nerja and is situated in the Moorish quarter of Frigiliana village.

Sports:- In this village we have a gymnasium and semi Olympic size swimming pool. There is also a covered sports complex where there are always different sporting activities taking place. All this is available to the public at very reasonable prices.

Culture:- Even though this is a small village, we are proud of having had a long and great history, with visible origins from the Neolithic period. Frigiliana has a small but very interesting museum, with various relics and artefacts which were found in an ancient burial place situated on a small hill on a private property only 1km from the centre.

This recently opened museum, which you will find in the beautiful Apero, is now the cultural centre of Frigiliana where is also housed the municipal library and Tourism Office, and in a building of fascinating architectural merit we also have a gallery and art exhibition centre, again open to the public.

Of particular interest is the collection of mural tiles which you can see as you walk along the old streets. As you follow each of these you can get to see some of the history of our village (in particular the Battle of the Penon), depicted in a most original way.

Should you wish to organise a longer excursion, in 90 minutes you could be visiting the Alhambra Palace in Granada, or in a couple of hours you could be at the Mezquita in Cordoba, or visiting the beautiful and fascinating city of Seville.

For almost every season there are typical and popular fiestas, where visitors can join in the festivities with the local people.

- 3rd of May Day of the Crosses
- From 8th to 13th June is the Feria and Romeria of our patron saint St Anthony
