hrs Estimate Duration
OVERVIEW
Discover the considerable charms of the whitewashed town Frigiliana, which lies within the Natural Park of Sierras de Tejeda, an environmentally protected mountain region. Browsing the archaeological museum will offer an enlightening glimpse into Frigiliana’s history from Neolithic times to the present. Highlights include a 16th-century dagger excavated from the castle ruins and a number of Phoenician vessels. The architecture throughout the historical town center is also well worth a look, especially the 17th-century Church of San Antonio. A leisurely walk along the town’s cobblestone streets, which feature beautiful inlaid Moorish patterns, will bring you to a restaurant for a tasting of muscatel wine and sun-dried raisins, two of the products most associated with Frigiliana. A heartier traditional meal will be served at a nearby tavern. The dishes there may include a tomato gazpacho that is thicker than most, meatballs in a flavorful almond sauce and gachas, a warm dessert of fried bread squares topped with honey.
