A superb short day hike from the village of Frigiliana to the Cruz de Pinto and back

Frigiliana is a beautiful whitewashed village typical of this area of Andalucía, Southern Spain, 8 km north of the holiday resort of Nerja. It is definitely worthwhile staying here or in Nerja for at least a few days. There are many walks in the vicinity-a brochure is available from the tourist office in the village-as well as fantastic beaches and restaurants. Transport links are great, with a regular bus service to Nerja from both Malaga and Granada.

This walk is shorter than our normal, but incorporates fantastic views of Frigiliana, Nerja and the coast, great scenery and good paths. This is a beautiful day trip, it takes a little over an hour to drive here from Torremolinos/Malaga, alternatively there is a regular bus service or taxi from Nerja, or there is a good choice of hotels and restaurants in the village. Free parking is available along the road, or pay for the multi storey car park.
