Day Trips > Nerja and Frigiliana<\/p>\r\n\t\r\n

\r\n\t\tguided visit to Nerja and Frigiliana\r\n\t<\/h1>\r\n\t

The Costa del Sol <\/strong>is so named precisely because it is the geographical area of Spain with the most hours of sunlight per year<\/strong>. Within this Malaga region<\/strong> we find villages with a singular beauty and an unparalleled historical, artistic and natural heritage.<\/p>\r\n

This is a small group excursion. If you want to take this tour in a private format, you can make the request through our <\/strong> customized tours<\/strong><\/a><\/span> section.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\t\tExcursion to Nerja and Firigliana from Granada\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\"Nerja_y_Figiliana\"\r\n\t

Our guided visit to Nerja and Frigiliana<\/strong> from Granada takes you to the sierra de la Axarqu\u00eda to discover the town of Frigiliana. A living vestige of the moorish architecture<\/strong>with narrow cobbled streets flanked by low houses with whitewashed walls. Where the smell of the flowers that decorate the walls and the saltpetre of the nearby Mediterranean accompany the visitor.<\/p>\r\n

The municipality of Frigiliana<\/strong> is a real treat for the senses and the visit to this town culminates with a panoramic view of the remains of the Arab fortress of Lizar<\/strong>, from the 9th century CE.<\/p>\r\n\t

Following a visit to one of the last strongholds of the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula<\/strong>the visitors continue on their way to Maro<\/strong>a municipality parish of Nerja<\/strong> and which has one of the most outstanding caves in Andalusia, both for its geomorphological and palaeontological value. The Nerja Cave<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

A huge complex with a surface area of more than 35,000 square metres, of which about 9,000 square metres can be explored in the so-called Tourist Galleries<\/strong>. The cave museum preserves upper Palaeolithic prehistoric remains<\/strong> and the recent prehistory<\/strong> with impressive cave paintings<\/strong> at least 42,000 years old. It is considered to be the cave with the most prehistoric artistic and symbolic manifestations in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The cave also stands out geologically because of its enormous chambers filled with speleothems<\/strong>: gours, stalactites, stalagmites, stalagmites<\/strong> and columns<\/strong> which give the spaces a singular natural majesty.<\/p>\r\n

After leaving the cave-museum of Nerja<\/strong>the visitors will then continue their march to the coastal town of Nerja<\/strong>where you can enjoy the Andalusian gastronomy at its best and contemplate the views from the Balcony of Europe<\/strong>. Name attributed to Alfonso XII<\/strong> and which names a huge platform on the cliff that once was the Lower Castle of Nerja<\/strong> and the central point from which the municipality developed during the 16th century<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n
