Historic Old Town
The old town of Frigiliana, of Moorish-Mudejar origin, is one of the best preserved in the province. Strolling through its narrow streets, especially at night, is a unique experience that transports us to times gone by, taking us away from the noise and bustle of modern life. El Barribarto, with its whitewashed façades, shines during the day […]

The mosaic on the fountain shows two women washing in the river, as was […]
