Trips to Nerja and Frigiliana

The Balcón de Europa, the Nerja Caves and the Moorish quarter of Frigiliana

The day trip to Nerja and Frigiliana is the most relaxed excursion in the catalogue, towards the eastern end of the province. Nerja is home to the Balcón de Europa, overlooking the sea, and the Caves, which feature one of the largest underground formations in Europe.

Frigiliana is twenty minutes away, and is home to one of the best-preserved Moorish old towns in Andalusia: steep streets, whitewashed houses and the Barribarto neighbourhood. There is a ticket option that includes entry to the Nerja Caves with an audio guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is admission to Nerja Cave included?

It depends on the option. One includes admission with an audio guide and a one-hour tour of the interior, whilst the other doesn’t include the cave, leaving you with more free time in the village and at the Balcón de Europa.

What is the Balcón de Europa?

A viewpoint overlooking the Mediterranean in the centre of Nerja, built on the ruins of an ancient fortress. From there, you can see the coves in the area and the Sierra de Almijara in the distance. It is the town’s landmark.

How long does the day trip to Nerja and Frigiliana last?

Between eight and ten hours, including a two-hour journey from Málaga and the western Costa del Sol. It is one of the most relaxed trips in the catalogue, with free time in both villages.

What’s Frigiliana like for walking?

It boasts one of the best-preserved Moorish old towns in Andalusia, with steep, cobbled streets in the Barribarto neighbourhood. It takes an hour and a half to walk around, and comfortable footwear is advisable due to the slopes.

Is there time for a trip to the beach in Nerja?

It depends on the tour. The one that doesn’t include the cave leaves the afternoon free, giving you enough time to head down to the coves at the Balcón de Europa or to Burriana beach. The one that includes the cave leaves less free time.

How to get to Nerja and Frigiliana with us

This route heads east along the coast, in the opposite direction to the rest of the guide. It’s a two-hour drive to Frigiliana from Málaga and the western Costa del Sol.

Those staying in Málaga city centre or the eastern part of the city will find the pick-up point most convenient, because if you’re coming from Marbella or Estepona, you have to cross the whole province before you even get started.

With or without Nerja Cave: the two options with Visitanddo

There are two versions, and the difference lies in the Nerja Cave. The option that includes this adds admission with an audio guide and a one-hour tour of the interior, which means there is less free time in the village.

The other one leaves the afternoon free to the Balcón de Europa, the coves and a stroll through the old town. You can walk around Frigiliana in an hour and a half, along its steep streets.
