#CityWalk The place I was looking forward to the most on my trip to Spain was Frigiliana. I was wondering whether to go to Mijas, which is also famous for its white town, but I chose Frigiliana, which is not a tourist destination. Mijas was closer to Malaga, where I was based, but I chose this town because it had a small, undeveloped atmosphere. I booked a flight from Malaga to Barcelona before 3pm, so I went there early in the morning! I arrived in Frigiliana around 9am, but the shops were still closed and there were hardly any people in the town. There were only cats there. There were only occasional local people walking their dogs. So I could take as many photos as I wanted 📸 There was a bit of shade, but the sun rose high before 10am and the pure white town looked beautiful. Every path was planted with flowers and cutely colored doors. It's a town that's just fun to take photos in. The view from the high ground was also amazing! On the way back, Cafeteria Almijara near the entrance was open, so I had coffee and a sandwich 🎵 The bread was fluffy and delicious. I only stayed there for about an hour and a half, but it was a wonderful town 🎵 On the way, an old man asked me if I wanted to stay at his hotel for a night, and I enjoyed that kind of communication 🤗🚌 How to get from Malaga to Frigiliana 👍 Recommendation: You can make a reservation for the alsa bus in advance from the official website or an overseas bus reservation site, so be sure to make a reservation! There is a high possibility that you will not be able to get a ticket on the day of the trip! 📝 You can make a reservation, but you cannot specify a seat on the bus, so if you want to sit next to your companion, go early and line up! At 6:30, take the alsa bus from Malaga Bus Terminal to Nerja. 📍Malaga Bus Terminal P.º de los Tilos, s/n, Distrito Centro, 29006 Málaga, Spain 8:30am Nerja🛬📍Nerja Bus Stop Av. de Pescia, 29780, Málaga, Spain From Nerja to Frigiliana, take a taxi for about 15 minutes. There are taxis at the bus stop in Nerja, so pick one up there. The fare was about 1000 yen in Japanese yen. ⚠️However, be careful as there are only a few taxis. The last cafe we ​​visited📍Spot name: Cafeteria Almijara, Address: C. Real, 1, 29788 Frigiliana, Málaga, Spain👍Recommended: Open before 10am, card payment possible On the way back, take a taxi to Nerja as well. From Nerja (departing at 11am) to Malaga, take the reserved bus! There weren't many websites that listed how to get to Frigiliana on your own, so please use this as a reference. #Spain #Frigiliana #100TravelStyles #Andalusia #WhiteCity

"Frigiliana" in Andalusia It is a white village that won the first top prize in 1982 at the national competition to decide the most beautiful village, Embellecimiento de los pueblos de Espana. 🤍 And what's more!! It's not like only some of the blocks have white buildings, wherever you walk, there are thoroughly white buildings in the streets...!! !! No matter where you take a photo, it's all white 🤍 [How to get there] Take a long-distance bus from Granada to the city of Nerja 🚌 Take a taxi or bus from there 🚌 Bus tickets are best bought from the ALSA website ◎ (English available) By the way, there are few buses from Nerja, so I recommend taking a taxi 🚕 It takes about 15 minutes one way, and costs about 15 euros 💶 #Spain #Europe #Frigiliana #100TravelStyles

This is an introduction to the town of Frigiliana, located about 70km from Malaga Airport in southern Spain, less than an hour by car. Many people will have a clue if you say "White Village" of Spain. This town won the first Grand Prize in a national competition to determine the most beautiful village, and the white walls of the houses with many stairs were decorated with flowers, which was very beautiful. Just walking around was fun. Many of the doors were pastel colored, and the townscape was colorful and cute. Also, cork seems to be a specialty of southern Spain, and there were many kinds of cork for sale. I had the image that cork would break easily, but when I touched it, it was very elastic and seemed strong. Cork umbrellas are stylish, aren't they? However, I thought it would get caught on something and break, so I made a small bag key chain as a souvenir for myself. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I went, but I would like to go again someday on a sunny day. Centro Histórico de Frigiliana Address: C.

Frigiliana is a neighborhood with white houses that remind you of Santorini! Just looking at the white houses, blue doors, murals carved on the walls, and colorful flowers was healing in itself :) Colorful flags are hung here and there, and music is played, so it reminds me of a festival atmosphere! But at the same time, if you go up the alley a little, you can see the neighborhood at a glance in a very quiet atmosphere. It's a travel destination with two charms :) If you go to Spain, you must visit! #Summer travel #Life shot spot #Life travel destination

#postandearn 📍 Frigiliana, Province of Málaga, Andalusia Region, Southern Spain — nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Almijara, near the Mediterranean coast Frigiliana is a whitewashed dream rising into the Andalusian hills, where narrow, flower-lined streets wind upward through silence and sun. Its Moorish heritage lingers in every tile and curve, while bougainvillea spills from balconies and the scent of jasmine drifts on warm air. From the top of the village, the view stretches endlessly — olive groves below, the sea in the distance, and the golden light of Spain wrapping it all in stillness. It’s a place for slow walks, soft conversations, and moments that feel like they’ve always existed. Frigiliana doesn’t dazzle loudly — it soothes, quietly. 🧭 Tips for Visitors: • Best visited in spring or early autumn to enjoy mild weather and open skies • Ideal for artists, couples, and slow travelers seeking charm and peace • Explore the old Mudejar quarter and follow ceramic plaques that tell the town’s story • Try local miel de caña (sugarcane syrup) and tapas in a hillside terrace • Combine with a visit to Nerja or the nearby Sierras de Tejeda Natural Park #Frigiliana #WhiteVillageSpain #AndalusianCharm #SlowTravelSpain #PuebloBlanco #HiddenSpain #SierraViews #PeacefulPlaces#trip #historicallandmarks #localguides #travel

#EuropeStrategy The Andalusia region in southern Spain has many attractive spots such as seaside resorts, world heritage sites, and white towns! Here are three recommended towns in Andalusia, Spain! 📍Frigiliana Address: C. Real, 9, 29788 Frigiliana, Málaga, Spain When you think of Andalusia, you think of white towns. Frigiliana has become popular in recent years as a representative spot of white towns. It's a small town that's easy to get around, and the unified buildings are very beautiful. If you go early in the morning, there will be no tourists and you can stroll around leisurely. How to get there: It's easy to get there by taking an optional tour from Granada or Málaga. 📍Málaga Address: Avenida Cervantes, 4 29016 MALAGA España A large city in Andalusia, it also has an international airport. It is also the city of art where Picasso was born. It has the sea and a resort-like atmosphere. Two days wasn't enough for me, so it's probably best to stay at least three nights. I used Malaga as a base and explored the surrounding cities. 📍Granada Address: Granada City, Granada Province A city that is home to world heritage sites such as the Alhambra Palace. This is the area where the last Islamic dynasty in Spain flourished, so it's nice that the buildings are a little different from other parts of Spain. I definitely recommend visiting the Alhambra Palace. #Andalusia

Speaking of the white villages of Spain🇪🇸 (Frigiliana)🙌🏻 No matter where you walk here, it's a beautiful place. The town is filled with white buildings, colorful doors and potted plants, giving it a fairy tale feel. And someone is actually living there.
