Nerja & Frigiliana: The 15 Best Day Trips from Málaga

31 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $6

An hour east: a cave system with a chamber the size of a cathedral, then the whitest village on the coast stacked up the hill behind it. These 15 trips differ on how long you get in the caves, whether Frigiliana is a stop or a photo, and what the ticket covers.

“Amazing experience with the most beautiful water you’ll see! Miguel was an incredible guide and he took great care of us. Just to note - we were staying in Malaga city center and this was about a 50-55 min drive but we got an Uber for 60 euros each way. Well worth the experience! One of our favorite parts of our trip by far!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 96 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $63.68

A 9-hour Malaga day trip to Frigiliana and Nerja, with guided town time, coastal views, and optional Nerja Caves.

“While booking it was told that trip would be for 9 hours between 9:45 am to 6:45 pm, but the trip was a rather short one and it got over at 4:20 pm. We were not given sufficient time to explore Nerja and were told to be back in bus at 3:20 pm. Feel cheated because after spending 35 pounds per person could only explore very little of Nerja, which could have been sone without taking this tour from operator l.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 87 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $211.19

Semi private Alhambra day trip from Nerja with up to 8 people, official Alhambra guide, Albayzin tapas, and Granada stories.

“Alhambra is a must see when visiting Granada. I also loved the walking tour of the old town in Granada. Having a tour guide is a great experience to learn the local history (Granada) and navigate getting around the sites (Alhambra and Al Bayzin neighborhood). Our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and funny. This is my second time using viator for a trip and one of the best parts is the small group experience, meeting and spending a day with new people from different parts of country/world. Would definitely recommend. Lovely tour of Alhambra and Albayzin”
