Frigiliana

This was one of the villages (highlighted whilst at home) as a place worth visiting, and it didn’t disappoint. In Rachel’s words “I think it’s the best village we’ve been to”, and that’s saying something!

We cycled 6 miles along the coast to Nerja then 3 miles uphill (on turbo) to the village. What a lovely place, where do we start? Your typical whitewashed houses, narrow cobbled streets, lots of sun terraces taking in the view over the village and down to the Med, everything so clean, bars and restaurants (all with views of course), lots of craft and arty shops, historical buildings, the list goes on. The ride back down was a breeze, in more senses than one. The wind had got up a tad, and now we were travelling substantially quicker than on the way up, the wind chill factor made me consider rolling my sleeves down, but only consider. By the time we got down to the coast again it was noticeably warmer, and we had a pleasant tootle back to the van. Having done nearly 20 miles we thought we had earned a rest, so had a couple of hours sunbathing on the beach.
