Itinerary
I will pick you up in Malaga city center with the van and we will go to Frigiliana. From there, we will cross the village and some avocados plantation. Walking through different crops, we will reach the arab irrigation canal that gets into the gorge of the Higueron river. We'll walk through the old arab irrigation canal to get into the natural park. We will learn about the way of life and we will interpretate the landscape of the Natural Park of Sierra Alhama, Tejeda and Almijara: its geology, the animals, plants...We'll stop at the most spectacular view points to take pictures . At the end of the hike we will visit Frigiliana, problably the most beautiful village in Andalusia. Once we finish, we will do a wine tasting in a cellar. This is a perfect hike to do a complete inmersion in the countryside and to understand the real Malaga. It´s a technically easy hike with just a part where you may have to put your feet into the water during 20 meters. STAYING IN TORREMOLINOS, BENALMADENA OR FUENGIROLA? THE LAST TRAIN STATION IN MALAGA ("ALAMEDA") IS JUST TWO MINUTES WALKING TO THE MEETING POINT.

Breathtaking scenic vistas, interesting information from our guide Alfonso. Alfonso said this was an “easy” hike. I would describe it as strenuous: steep ascents (according to my Fitbit, we climbed the equivalent of 45 stories), rocky paths, and a walk for perhaps a mile along a sometimes crumbly concrete irrigation channel with only a wire fence between you and the ground far below. All that being said, I did this while one week shy of my 74th birthday, and I made it. There was also the support and camaraderie of the other hikers, which was fostered by Alfonso. All in all, an enjoyable and challenging experience.
Thanks for coming and booking with MALAGAACTIVATOURS.COM
We have stayed in Frigiliana twice now but as we were staying in Malaga this time, decided to book the walking tour, as there were parts of Frigiliana we had not explored previously. We had a great time with a lovely little group from Norway and the USA. Alfonso was a very knowledgeable and attentive tour guide. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who likes walking in the outdoors.

Had a wonderful mountaintop hike, with a lot of historical information shared along the way. Local wine & tapas served at the end. Highly recommend…

Great tour! Frigiliana is a beautiful town. Our guide really knew the area and did a wonderful job explaining all the history. Great hike and really good wine.
Thank you very much...I am very glad you enjoyed the experience. Alfonso from malaactivatours.com
The guide picked us up in Malaga and then carried out a pleasant tour of 5.5 hours with some hilly hiking, a walk in a nice little village that ended with a wine tasting and late return home.
thank you very much from malagaactivatours.com
Alfonso is fantastic! Highly recommend this tour of beautiful Frigiliana, and the hike above it. I appreciated Alfonso’s patience with the slow one in the group! 😃 Five stars!
Thank you very much from malagaactivatours.com
Alfonso brought us on a beautiful hike in the mountains on the old Arab aqueducts overlooking the beautiful white washed town of Frigilillana. He explained the history of the town, looked at trees growing papaya, avocado, bananas, chirimoya, and olives. Then we tasted wine with tapas at a local bodega. It was a wonderful trip and Alfonso is a great guide. Highly recommend. .
Than you for the feedback. In MALAGA ACTIVA TOURS we are very happy that you enjoyed your trip. Best regards.
This experience was wonderful and I highly recommend, whether you’ve been to Frigiliana before or not. Alfonso is everything you’d want in a guide and ensured that we had a perfect balance of sightseeing, learning about the area, and relaxing with plenty of wine and tapas.
Thank you for the review. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your days in Spain. MALAGAACTIVATOURS.COM
UNPROFESSIONAL. I scheduled this tour over a month ago and I get an email telling me that basically told they are not "touring" that day. Cannot imagine why they did not block the day off on the calendar instead of waiting a week and a half until we take out trip.
We are very sorry to read this review. The path will be closed by the municipality on september the 20th in order to restore it. The trip was cancelled with 1 month in advance. The client threatened us with a bad review and here it is. Whenever you work in nature, there are some metheorological events, rockslides, clousures, etc which do not depend on us.
We enjoyed the hike. The local guide Alfonso was great! Provided some history and showed us around fringila and took some great photos to get to know the area. The wine and cellar/tapas weren’t extraordinary but to walk around and know something new in a less crowded environment was cool.
Thank you for the review and being with us in malagaactivatours.com
