The tour of Frigiliana was awesome and Cipriano’s passion for the history of the village and the region made for superb storytelling as we walked the narrow alleys and visited the church and small stores. And the weather was just right! The visit to the lost village (El Acebuchal) reached another level. The contrast between the history of this small village and its place in the Spanish Civil War (forced resettlement by Franco) gave us a true appreciation for the remarkable dedication and efforts of a local entrepreneur (who we met) to rebuild and restore some of the buildings into a modern accommodations for visitors who can enjoy the nearby walking trails. The lunch which featured wild boar stew, rice and local bread was washed down with a very nice beer. What a fantastic experience! Cipriano, thank you!
