Enjoy these two emblematic white villages on this day trip to Nerja and Frigiliana
Frigilina is known as one of the most beautiful towns in Spain, you will fall in love with this white-washed village. We will wonder around its narrow streets (walking tour) full of flowers pots and small shops. We will visit the old Fortress, refuge of the last Muslims, and now converted into a sugarcane molasses factory.
Next, we will go to Nerja. This old fishermen's village has become one of the most popular destinations within the province of Malaga. We will walk through its narrow downtown streets between boutiques and restaurants with the Sierra de Almijara as a backdrop, we will visit the famous Balcón de Europa and marvel at the incredible panoramic view of the sea.
Your tour to Nerja would not be complete without a visit to the magnificent Caves of Nerja, famous for the beauty of its interior, with stalactites and stalagmites, and for the magical cave paintings filled with history!

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for the Côte d'Azur tour with Tomas — including Frigiliana and Nerja We toured the Côte d'Azur with Tomas and the experience was just spectacular. From the beginning he proved to be a professional guide, friendly and with an impressive knowledge of every corner we visit. The tour was perfectly organized and full of memorable moments. One of the great successes of the tour was to include Frigiliana and Nerja, two gems that Tomas helped us discover in a unique way. In Frigiliana he showed us his little white streets, hidden viewpoints and the history behind his Andalusian charm. In Nerja he took us to the best panoramic spots, including the Balcony of Europe, and recommended amazing places for photos and to enjoy the local atmosphere. Thomas made every stop something special. His explanations were interesting, clear and full of cultural details that enriched the whole trip. In addition, he was always aware of our comfort, the times and that every moment was perfect. The Côte d’Azur is beautiful, but with Tomas you live in an exclusive, personalized and totally unforgettable way. I recommend it 200%. A must-see tour that we would repeat without thinking.

5.00This was a fabulous tour and very interesting. The views of the Mediterranean Sea, the countryside and the mountains along the route while driving there were beautiful. The caves of Nerja were stunning, as was the town of Frigiliana. We had a wonderful lunch in the town of Nerja. Thomas was an excellent guide and a very safe driver. He gave us so much information about the areas we visited, as well as some great recommendations about places to visit and eat during the rest of our stay in Malaga. I recommend this tour highly!

5.00We started our day with the caves at 10 before the crowds. It is a self guided tour with audio if you scan a QR code on your way in. We missed it but still enjoyed what we saw. From here we went to Frigliana. A beautiful little town only minutes from the caves and well worth the visit. Thomas was our guide, showing us the town of Nerja and recommending a local restaurant for lunch, where we enjoyed eating typical specialties of the area. Our tour started and ended in Malaga. Door to door service with recommendations for more to see and places to eat in the area. Wonderful tour !
Excellent tour!

5.00Our tour guide Peter reminded us of an actor in one of our favorite shows, and he took us on a reality TV adventure! The Nerja Caves and other destinations around the city of Frigiliana and Nerja were beautiful, and we were pleased with our experience. As many know of Modern Family being an amazing show, why not have an as great display from Peter and his Malaga Tour! 5 stars with no doubts in our head.

5.00Nerja is a beautiful little town located on the southern coast. As beautiful is Frigiliana, located alittle to the north of Nerja. Town is all white with beautiful views of the valley. Would definitely recommend both places when in Malaga!!

5.00We hired Costa Excursions for this private trip. The reservation was done online and the process was easy. Thomas was our tour guide. He reached out the day before to make sure everything was in order before our trip. The next morning he came to pick us up at the apartment we were staying at. We first travelled to Nerja’s Cave and tickets were included. The cave visit took around 30-40 minutes. The formations in the cave are amazing! Following the cave visit, Thomas drove us to Frigiliana and guided us through the town. This white town is beautiful and worth the visit. Thomas was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating throughout the tour. He offered to take pictures of us and gave us the option of a private lunch but we invited him to join us. We had great conversation and truly enjoyed every minute of the trip. He gave us tips and recommendations of places to visit while in Malaga. We definitely will recommend Costa Excursions to anyone looking to do a private tour in Malaga.
