Nerja (Stadt) + Frigiliana & El Acebuchal, visuelle Harmonie / halbprivat

Our guide Emilio was fantastic The best tour guide we’ve had He made our trip a wonderful experience to cherish He was so knowledgeable and helpful He understood our group needs and delivered I highly recommend this tour with Emilio

Emilio is passionate, skilled, and so deeply knowledgeable not only about the content of his tours, but about people, the world, music, nature, and more. The small group setting makes for an intimate and educational tour, with lots of laughs and stories only a well versed guide could provide. There was a great mix of touring, free time, resting, etc. I’ll be recommending to any friend of mine visiting.

Three distinct and beautiful sites perched on the top of mountains, as well as deep in the valley of the mountains. And historical in the true sense of the word. The streets are narrow in Nerja and it located on a hillside that is hundreds of meters above the ground. Oddly enough, cars are allowed to pass on the streets, making the walk slightly more dangerous. And, many sections are steep! The houses are all painted brilliant white giving some relief from the heat. There are plenty of spots to stop and take a photo. Frigiliana is also located on a steep hillside. Again, many old whitewashed buildings as well as Churches and businesses that have existed for centuries. As you climb, you pass many alleyways that lead seemingly to nowhere. The cultural influences are Christian, Jewish, and Arabic. What is essential is a guide that can lead you to the hidden gems, and has a superb knowledge of the region. Our group had that in Emilio who works with Travel Factory Andalusia. He spent a considerable amount of time in each town regaling us with stories, and introducing us to the unique features that would have been lost on us had we simply wandered around on our own. He was a super individual that projected intellect and knowledge. He was personable, friendly, and made sure that every person had the attention that they required to know the towns as they should. The gem was the trip to Cómpeta which was a town that had a sad and sordid history of death and resistance during the early twentieth, but was resurrected as a symbol of hope, tenacity and survival. Again, Emilio was the key to gaining an understanding of the history and culture of that town. If you are looking to tour the Andalusian region, look no further than Travel factory Andalusia and the folks that work there. Comfortable vehicles, excellent conversation, and a true connection to the past history of the region.
