How to Get to Frigiliana & Nerja

Your complete guide for a smooth arrival. The nearest airport 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. First, 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. 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.

Good to Know: Heavy Luggage & TukTuk

The path includes a few stairs and a gentle hill. With heavy luggage, it’s often easiest to take one smaller bag, or simply take your time for the last 100 meters — the views are worth it!

Prefer to arrive right at the door? Use the local TukTuk service. It's a charming and practical alternative.
