It is our pleasure to take the bus to Frigiliana for a leisurely lunch in one of the many small restaurants tucked into the whitewashed village streets.
The bus, which is a big airconditioned Euro-coach makes a number of round trips from the Nerja downtown to Frigiliana and is usually quite full of locals and visitors traipsing between the two villages. It's particularly busy on the day of the mercado in Frigiliana and if you can't get a seat on the bus, buy a ticket from the driver and wait for the second coach to arrive. Oddly enough you can't buy tickets from the second bus driver. I think the bus is generally only really full on the mid-morning (11 am) run to Frigiliana on market day.




Here we are looking over the mountains and the National Park at the east side of Frigiliana village. These mountains are all protected and are criss-crossed with hiking and walking trails. This truly is a glorious part of Andalucia...moments from the Mediterranean and the unspoiled countryside.
This is a view of various sea-front apartments perched over Carabeo beach. There are a lot of marvellous accommodations in Nerja and this year, I had a lovely time looking for a potential home in Nerja. Haven't found quite the right one yet, but I'm sure it will happen.
