Location of the municipality of Frigiliana

The white mountain village of Frigiliana is located in Andalusia in the Axarquía district of the province of Málaga in Spain . The village is about 65 km east of Málaga and about 7 kilometers from Nerja and has 3009 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2019).

Frigiliana, which is over 435 m above sea level, is one of the places in the province of Málaga where the original Moorish structure of the old town center is best preserved. Here you can still find the typical narrow streets and white houses decorated with flowers and ornaments, for which the region is known. According to local law, residents are obliged to regularly whitewash their houses. Frigiliana has received the “Most Beautiful Village in Andalusia” award several times.

The place is nestled on the southern slopes of the Sierra de Enmedio, which form part of the Sierra de Almijara Mountains, the border line between the provinces of Málaga and Granada. From many places in town you have a view down to the Mediterranean Sea.
