Overview & Why It Matters
Frigiliana’s old town rewards slow mornings: read two ceramic history panels, step into artisan alleys, then linger over a long lunch with views. In the evening, slip down to Nerja for the seaside glow and live music around the Balcón de Europa. This guide distills the best of both worlds in a single, calm route.
Suggested Route (3–5 Stops)
- San Antonio & Side Alleys — morning light & bell chimes.
- Mudéjar Panels — read two, then pause for a quiet coffee.
- Artisan Lane — workshops & textures for photos.
- Evening Viewpoint — rooftops & blue hour.
- Nerja Dinner with Views — book ahead for sunset.
