Overview

Frigiliana hiking tour and wine tasting, from Málaga – Small Group (8p max) –

The trip to Frigiliana

We will depart from Málaga city center (calle ordoñez nº2). It is a 45 minutes driving until Frigiliana in our confortable van. We will cross the Axarquia valley.

The hike. Walking around Frigiliana and the natural park

We start the excursion in the highest part of Frigiliana. This town is known as the most beautiful town in Málaga, and probably in Andalusia. Early in the morning we are almost alone in town. The streets here are full of plants and pots which contrast with the white houses.

We will visit the most beautiful streets in town while learning about its history and traditions. We will ascend until the highest part of the town through medieval streets stuck in time.

Once outside the town, we will start to enjoy the panoramic views. There, you realize how tough were these steep lands for the first colonizers. Following the path, we will cross some avocado plantations in the way to the natural park.

We are already in the natural park . We will take the arab irrigation cannal to get into the natural park. The views from there are breathtaking. We have the mediterranean sea as backround and the Higueron river at the botton of the valley. The walkway crosses a tipical mmediterranean forest where we will discover the wildlife.

Wine tasting in the oldest cellar in town

It is time to come back to Frigiliana from the natural park. We will suround the arab castle (Castillo de Lizar), which is on ruins, before we enter in Frigiliana again. In this area we will cross some of the most stunning view points with views over Frigiliana and the mediterranean sea.

We will visit other side of Frigiliana, descending steep pedestrian streets until the oldest cellar in town. Here we will enjoy a wine tasting with diferent local wines.

The way back from Frigiliana

Once we finish the wine tasting we will go to the starting point. We still have time to buy some local products. We always recomend to try the local avocados, chirimoyas, mangos and other tropical fruits.

Once in the van, we come back to Málaga city center. There is the option of being dropped off in Nerja if the traveler wants to visit it. Nerja is a vacational city with some interesting spots. It is connected with Malaga city by bus.

Highlights

  • Walking along the stunning pedestrian streets of Frigiliana.
  • Visiting avocado tree plantations.
  • The breathtaking views of the natural park from the walkways.
  • Local wine tasting in an authentic cellar.

Breathtaking scenic vistas, interesting information from our guide Alfonso. Alfonso said this was an “easy” hike. I would describe it as strenuous: steep ascents (according to my Fitbit, we climbed the equivalent of 45 stories), rocky paths, and a walk for perhaps a mile along a sometimes crumbly concrete irrigation channel with only a wire fence between you and the ground far below. All that being said, I did this while one week shy of my 74th birthday, and I made it. There was also the support and camaraderie of the other hikers, which was fostered by Alfonso. All in all, an enjoyable and challenging experience.

We have stayed in Frigiliana twice now but as we were staying in Malaga this time, decided to book the walking tour, as there were parts of Frigiliana we had not explored previously. We had a great time with a lovely little group from Norway and the USA. Alfonso was a very knowledgeable and attentive tour guide. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who likes walking in the outdoors.

Alfonso brought us on a beautiful hike in the mountains on the old Arab aqueducts overlooking the beautiful white washed town of Frigilillana. He explained the history of the town, looked at trees growing papaya, avocado, bananas, chirimoya, and olives. Then we tasted wine with tapas at a local bodega. It was a wonderful trip and Alfonso is a great guide. Highly recommend.

This experience was wonderful and I highly recommend, whether you’ve been to Frigiliana before or not. Alfonso is everything you’d want in a guide and ensured that we had a perfect balance of sightseeing, learning about the area, and relaxing with plenty of wine and tapas.

We enjoyed the hike. The local guide Alfonso was great! Provided some history and showed us around fringila and took some great photos to get to know the area. The wine and cellar/tapas weren’t extraordinary but to walk around and know something new in a less crowded environment was cool.

We spent a lovely 1/2 day with Alfonso exploring the town and the hills around it, followed by wine tasting and snacks. Highly recommend this tour for a little bit of lots of good things: exercise, culture, history, agriculture, stunning views and photography, and vino!
