Frigiliana is one of the most beautiful and picturesque Andalucian white villages; voted as the ‘prettiest village in Andalusia’ by the Spanish tourism authority. The village is situated 6 kilometres north of Nerja, more than 300 metres above sea level. Frigiliana can be divided into two parts: a newer part built in the traditional style of a white Andalucian village and the older part of Moorish origin. That part of the town is one of the best preserved Moorish villages in Andalucia. It offers many picturesque narrow, windy cobble stoned streets lined with whitewashed houses.

San Luis de Sabinillas was originally a fishing village, developing over the past hundred years. As in almost all Spanish fishing villages not much importance was attached to aesthetics and architecture and the old town is a jumble of structures. Like most places along the Costa del Sol the village has grown rapidly over the last decade and lives more from tourism than from fishing. Sabinillas has a relatively authentic feel and has probably one of the few boulevards and beaches not spoiled by huge and ugly buildings.
