Church of San Antonio de Padua
lina112 Says: The church of San Antonio de Padua was built in the XVII century (1676) and restored a century later. It has three naves separated by pilasters and covered by a wooden frame to the transept, where there stands a hemispherical dome crowned with a lantern. The cover is simple,...

La Bodeguilla: Traditional Cooking on the patio
ranger49 Says: We first found this restaurant by accident. Many were closed for annual holidays or day off or already full. But as we passed by a small opening, or passage way between two houses, with heard the chinks of cutlery and plates. We thought it might lead to a private back-yard...
The Garden Restaurant: The view from the Terrace
ranger49 Says: This is another long established Frigiliana restaurant that consistently serves good food with a good choice on the menu. It continues to attract returning customers year after year and though I think it has moved a bit upmarket, still offers very good value - and an...
lina112 Says: Driving from Málaga you have to take the A-7 direction to Almeria, take the exit num 292, follow the signs and take the road MA-5105. I recommend parking before reaching the old town because of the area is impossible to park and traffic is only accessible to...
With your own car - Con tu coche
spanishguy Says: The best way to arrive to Frigiliana is with your own or hired car. Either if you are coming from Malaga or Granada the best route is to reach the Axarquia by the N-340 speed way and take the "Frigiliana" exit. Then it's just a few kilometres by the MA-105 road till you'll...
VARIOUS SHOPS: FRIGILIANA SHOPS
LoriPori Says: Frigiliana had many lovely shops. It was fun snooping inside, especially looking at all the lovely ceramic objects, tiles, painted glass and pottery items. There was you usual souvenir stores too with post-cards, t-shirts and my favourite - those wonderful colourful aprons.
Any of them: Craftmanship - Artesanía
spanishguy Says: As I told you before there are a lot of kind of craftmanship productes you can find here. I loved one shop where you can find a lot of stuff made on pumpkins at the calle Estanco, but it was a little bit expensive. It's normal because they need a lot of hours to make such a...
spanishguy Says: As the streets are very narrow and steppy the only way to carry on heavy stuff is using donkeys, as it was usual in every Spanish city in ancient times. Unfortunatly I dind't see any of them. Como las calles son muy estrechas y tienen escalones la única manera de transportar...
Carmela71 Says: As transport inside the city is so difficult as it is on a hill and streets very narrow, this is the traditional work transport...My eyes could not believe it, when I first saw it, later I realised this is the only way ... Mule or the man!thanks Susieguide for the...

spanishguy Says: Well, actually I didn't visit the castle itself, but I saw it from the city. You can see it too if you pay attention to the mountain summit. It's a 9th century Arab castle and it was destroyed during the "Battle of the Rock" (16th century) so currently there are just some...
Botanical garden - Jardín Botánico
spanishguy Says: There is a small park next to the parking area. I think it's completly brand new and it worth a visit. There are a lot of kind of plants and flowers, an artificial waterfall and benches, where you can have a small rest just looking at the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea,...
LoriPori Says: Perhaps the most charming aspect of Frigiliana is its narrow cobblestone streets. Each corner, each turn, opens up another wonderful view. I love the wrought-iron balconies, the wonderful tiles people put on the walls for decoration. I love the vivid blue doors. The...
