How to Get to Frigiliana & Nerja
Your guide to a smooth arrival. The nearest airport for both destinations is Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), with a transfer time of about 50-60 minutes by car.
Travel from Málaga Airport
By Car
Driving is the fastest and most flexible option. From Málaga Airport, follow the A-7 motorway east towards Almería. The journey to the Nerja exits takes about 55 minutes. Frigiliana is a scenic 6 km drive uphill from Nerja via the MA-5105 road.
All major car hire companies are available at the airport.
By Bus
For the budget-conscious traveler, the bus is a great choice. As there is no direct bus to Frigiliana, you first need to travel from the airport to Málaga's main bus station (a 15-minute trip). From there, take the ALSA bus towards Nerja (approx. 1h 15min).
From Nerja, local buses or taxis are readily available for the short ride to Frigiliana. We recommend booking ALSA tickets online in advance during high season.
By Taxi or Private Shuttle
The easiest and most comfortable way to start your holiday. Taxis and pre-booked private transfers operate directly from the arrivals hall to Frigiliana or Nerja. The ride takes about one hour and costs around €70–€80 for up to four passengers.
Reliable companies like SolHop or Transfers Del Sol can be booked online.
Parking Information
Frigiliana: The most convenient option is the large underground car park at Plaza de las Tres Culturas at the village entrance. Limited street-side spaces are also available. Please note that driving and parking within the narrow streets of the historic old town is not practical.

Getting Around Locally
For guests who prefer not to drive, local taxis are plentiful. Frigiliana also offers a charming TukTuk service, providing a fun alternative for short trips around the village and its beautiful surroundings.
