Descend into Nerja's cathedral-scale prehistoric caverns — among Europe's finest — then wind up into Frigiliana, the Costa del Sol's most photogenic Moorish white village, on a seamless private excursion from port.
What to expect
The drive east along the Costa Tropical delivers its own theatre — sugar-cane plantations, cliffside roads and glimpses of the deep blue sea. Inside the Caves of Nerja, vast chambers known as the 'Cathedral' and 'Christmas Hall' reveal stalactites of extraordinary scale alongside Palaeolithic paintings discovered in 1959. Lunch in Nerja's old quarter sets you up for the ascent to Frigiliana, a labyrinth of cobbled lanes, blue-and-white ceramics and jasmine-draped archways. Your guide returns you to Motril port in good time for all-aboard.
Good to know
Nerja is approximately 45 minutes east of Motril. Cave entry must be pre-booked; confirm inclusion when reserving your tour. Wear comfortable shoes — cave paths and Frigiliana's cobbles are uneven. Total excursion time approx. 6 hours.
