About this experience
Come and meet two towns on the Malaga coast, a province known for its numerous hours of sunshine per year, its charming white villages and its great cultural and artistic heritage.
Nerja is a coastal town belonging to the Axarquia region, from which you can look out over its well-known Balcón de Europa, whitewashed on a small mountain, and observe the incredible panoramic view of the sea. One of its main attractions is the Cueva de Nerja, which you will have the opportunity to visit.
Frigiliana is full of Andalusian culture, today it still retains its Moorish structure, its beauty in the houses full of flowers, the smell of nature and at the same time of the coast. We have to highlight from this town its Arab Castle and the Lizar Fortress from which you can admire incredible panoramic views.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
The enormous prehistoric Caves of Nerja boast extensive grottoes, archaeological remains, and the world’s largest column, rising 105 feet (32 meters) up. The cave formations look like organ pipes, and the area’s evidence of human habitation stretches back 25,000 years to the Paleolithic Period. Galleries display artifacts, paintings, and skeletons unearthed since the caves were discovered in 1959.

Panoramic tour to Frigiliana. Medieval Frigiliana is a typically Andalusian pueblo blanco (white town) in the hills east of Málaga above the vacation paradise of Costa del Sol. Guarded by the remains of the 9th-century Moorish Lízar Castle, the village rises from its cliffside promenade and offers far-reaching panoramas of the Mediterranean coast.

Enjoy these emblematic white villages on the coast of Malaga, fall in love with one of the most splendid areas of Andalusia, and visit the Balcón de Europa just one hour from Malaga.
