Frigiliana Small-group Hike And Wine Tasting Tour From Malaga

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.

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.

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!

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. .

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.

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 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.

It was a short but a fulfilling tour to Frigiliana. Our guide Alfonso was well organized and knowledgeable. I'd love to join him for another tour in the future.

Excellent hike, very nice group and Alfonso was very knowledgable and super nice. Would definitely recommend to go hiking with him and hope to be back another time!

We spent a lovely 1/2 day with Alfonso exploring the town and the hills around it, followed by wine tasting and snacks. Highly recommend this tour for a little bit of lots of good things: exercise, culture, history, agriculture, stunning views and photography, and vino!

great trip! Alonso our guide was super friendly and very knowledgeable .. .would defo recommend this trip

I'm so glad I did this, absolutely worth it. Alfonzo, the organiser, did an amazing job of making everyone feel introduced, involved and comfortable. Not only that, he went above and beyond and sent us all tips and recommendations for our stays in Málaga, and even helped me out via text with recommendations for another trip I want to make. Loved every minute of it, thanks.

Excellent tour and Alfonso was a great tourguide. After the tour, Alfonso was willing to drop us off at different locations. Some back to the starting point, others to the beach and I was dropped at Nerja. After visiting the caves and the beach, i took the public bus back to Malaga.

An experience not to be missed! Lovely village with white buildings and stunning views. Walking in and along the canal with beautiful views! We heard lot of explanation about the culture, history and plants! Our group was very small and we didnt know each other but we had a great connection from the beginning. Alfonso is very knowledgable and he has good sense of humor so our hike was very fun! :) Alfonso always made sure we were comfortable with the path we were on. Simply fantastic trip!

Was a great trip! It was not too busy, the town was beautiful and Alfonso was a laid back and entertaining guide!

This is the second hike experience I’ve been with Alfonso - I went to the Caminito Del Rey hike before and it was one of the best hikes I’ve had, so I was really excited to go on this Frigiliana Hike! And this trip is everything! I feel so lucky and grateful, we encountered a total of 3 rainbows during the hike, it was as if they were following us hahah! The view that we get to see when we were up on the mountains was simply spectacular; I wouldn’t hesitate to come again just for the view along! It was a very relaxed and comfortable experience, getting to feel the nature this way. On the way Alfonso was explaining the culture and giving us insights which made us feel more immersed! Frigiliana is definitely one of the most beautiful villages I’ve seen! At the end we had wine tasting and it was a perfect end to an exciting adventure. You won’t regret going! Thank you very much Alfonso! :)

Alfonso was an extremely friendly and knowladgable guide. Definitelly not something we would have been able to do on our own and very nice, small group of fellow travellers.

What a great journey ! Alfonso showed us in a genuine and interactive way the cultural heritage of Frigiliana : spontaneous discussions with local farmers and inhabitants, adventurous walk along the old irrigation canal and great knowledge about the typical features of the Frigiliana town and surrounding landscape. We even had the chance to see a « cabra montesa » ! Alfonso’s extroverted character put us all in a good mood and made us feel comfortable since minute one of the trip. I highly recommend this experience !

We were so happy we decided to do this hike. Alfonso is so knowledgeable and makes the trip very entertaining. The sights are absolutely beautiful. Definitely recommend!

The total experience was great fun and enjoyable. Alfonso is a marvelous guide from all aspects of the trip. He is knowledgeable about the terrain and Frigiliana, history of the "pueblos blancos," and simply fun. The hike covers both the beauty of the town and the mountains and canal. Not to be forgotten was the great time tasting local Malaga wines with tapas. We would definitely do this hike or another adventure with Alfonso.

I did this tour in the sweet town of Frigiliana together with my Dad and I have to say, it was a great experience! Alfonso is a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide that takes care of all your needs and answers patiently all your questions. The path in the mountain is adventurous and sometimes you really need to watch your step. But Alfonso is always there to help :) The view is excellent and definitely worth it! Also the wine-tasting was fun with some sweet tasting wines I've never had before. I totally recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful day hiking with Alfonso! He is a lovely person, very friendly and helpful and he has a great local knowledge about places and plants. He picked us up in central Malaga along with a small group of friendly people, and took us to places we wouldn't have visited on our own. The views were absolutely stunning and the hike was at a good pace. The wine tasting and tapas at the end were great, too. I thoroughly recommend this trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Alfonso. He's a great guide and is really knowledgable. We'd never have found the walk without him! Loved it and we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I can highly recommend this tour with Alfonso as a tour guide! Everything worked really well and we had a fantastic day out of Málaga. Frigiliana is definitely worth a visit and this tour makes it even better :)

This hike was the highlight of my stay in Malaga. Alfonso is one of the nicest, friendliest and helpful guides I've ever met. He knows a lot about the history of the little town and all the fauna and flora of the countryside. The whole trip was very well organised. The hike is a bit of a climb but with lots of places to take a break and look at the wonderful scenery. At the end of the hike we were treated with fine wine tasting and some tapas. The group that my brother and I went with was sociable and within the first half hour everyone was sharing experiences, where they came from etc. We got along very well with two other students and decided to meet for dinner and grab a drink after the hike. Over all it was a very nice experience and I recomend it to everyone staying in Malaga. It really was worths it's money. I would advice to bring some kind of snacks, put on a lot of sunscreen, good shoes and a camera to capture the good moments you're going to experience.

Alfonso is a wonderful guide! Such a beautiful hike. We saw stunning views and went to places we never could have found on our own. He has a degree in Geology so was able to answer everyone's questions on the mtn range and all of the amazing rock formations we walked through. He also knew the plants which I was particularly curious about. He picked us up right in the heart of Malaga in the morning along with several other tourists and had everyone very comfortable quickly with one another and the local history. Such a wonderful day out! The mtn village of Frigiliana is amazing and Alfonso knew all the local lore as well as ending the tour in a great little shop trying the local wine and eating the best meats and cheese. He got us back around 5 to Malaga, tired but wanting to continue on with the new friends we'd made. We were the oldest couple in the group, in our 50's. The pace of the long tour didn't matter at all, there were so many places to pause and listen to Alfonso and ask more questions. Such a highlight of our entire trip to Spain! So glad we went and when we're back in Malaga, we'll be booking another tour to another place with Alfonso. Can't wait!

We took this walk earlier this year and enjoyed it. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable. A very nice experience overall.

Absolutely loved this tour with Alfonso. Small group of 8 people. Beautiful scenery with a knowledgeable guide.

I took this trip with Alfonso on my week-long trip to Málaga last February and it happened to be the highlight of the whole trip! Alfonso is super knowledgeable, friendly and customer-oriented. He made sure that everyone in our small super international group felt comfortable and welcomed. I loved all those details he gave us about the town and its backyards, the history of the region, the avocado plantations and natural phenomena of the area. The pace of the hike was just perfect, too. We had enough time to take pictures and adore the views. The wine tasting came along with artesan snacks and great conversations. A perfect final indeed. Make sure you get your sunblock and some water! The rest will be taken care by Alfonso. P.S. The text might sound like a promotion ad. I really tried to think of something that I disliked to make it more balanced, but I could not find anything! Go for it, really!

I did the hike with Alfonso the first weekend of March in 2020, just before the Covid 19 pandemic. It was an absolutely wonderful experience, as Alfonso is one of the most knowledgeable tour guide I've had in all my travels. The hike was also a good mix of difficulties, from a few off-road areas to well paved aqueducts to the streets of beautiful Andalusian towns. The final tapas ending point was also very nice, with a large array of different Spanish sweet wines and small snacks to try the local flavours. I highly recommend the tour.

I arranged this trip at the last minute and am so glad I did so. From the minute I arrived at the meeting point Alfonso took care of me and the whole group. The village of Frigiliana is beautiful, and the hikes in the mountains beyond it have spectacular views. Alfonso was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who brought us snacks for the hike and took us for some local wine tasting also. I not only enjoyed being in nature, but also getting to know the group I joined, who were full of fun and interesting people. It was the highlight of my time in Malaga, and when I return I will certainly look to do more trips with Alfonso.

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.

Een super leuke hike met enthousiaste gids Alfonso. Soms weinig tijd voor foto's te maken. Maar een aanrader. Groetjes Erwin en Claudia uit Nederland

Super nice trip. You will experience Frigiliana in the morning before the tourists arrive. The city is beautiful and the guide tells little stories about the city and its history. The hiking is along irrigation canals overlooking the mountains. The tour ends with wine tasting and some tapas at a local restaurant. All in all, a good trip that everyone can take part in.

Superbes paysages. Convivialité au top. Alphonso, le guide , très sympa, sait mettre à l'aise et favorise une bonne ambiance. Tres bons vins , tapas copieux
