Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

We will take you to Frigiliana in order to do a guided tour in this lovely village with a licensed and local guide and then you will have free time to enjoy a glass of wine or buy some souvenirs. Afterwards we drive to El Acebuchal, an old after the Spanish Civil War abandoned village located in the mountains with a very interesting past and where we will enjoy a homemade Spanish menu in one of the best restaurants of the area. This day trip includes round-trip hotel transport from the coast between Nerja and Torre del Mar.
