Located in the region of the Axarquia, Frigiliana is the most beautiful whitewashed town in the province of Malaga, Spain.
Its relaxed atmosphere, cobbled and narrow streets, blue and turquoise doors, and incredible viewpoints make it worth visiting. Not only is it a picturesque town, but it has plenty of history behind it despite its size.
You’ll be surprised at all the beautiful spots and things to do – from exploring its lovely streets and taking in the views to tasting delicious local dishes. These are my favourite 10 things to do in Frigiliana.
This is the main street in the Old Town of Frigiliana and the most photographed. From this part of the town, you can find many little picturesque streets.

One of the buildings that stands out as you arrive in the heart of Frigiliana’s Old Town is Palacios de Los Condes de Frigiliana, also known as El Ingenio.
