In it we can enjoy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Axarqu\u00eda Cathedral: located in the central square of the town and surrounded by buildings that preserve their original facades is this small cathedral that, despite being small, is interesting to visit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Walk of traditions: it is a walk of tiles where some of the most important historical moments of the town are collected.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Hanging houses: being a town surrounded by mountain landscapes, the villagers have taken advantage of it and have built their homes on the stones, resembling &#8220;hanging houses&#8221;.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Frigiliana, looking towards the sea<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Closer to the coast than the previous towns in the Axarquia of Malaga we find Frigiliana, which has gained great popularity in recent years for its incredible white houses and blue doors.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">La Calle Real: one of the most important and picturesque in the town where you can take the best photos and videos touring the town.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Palace of the Counts: it is one of the most instagrammable points since you will be able to see the views of the most atmospheric and largest square in the town.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Viewpoints: it is one of the most important points in the towns of the Axarqu\u00eda in Malague\u00f1a since they are surrounded by nature and Frigiliana is one of the towns with the best viewpoints.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frigiliana-la-mirada-hacia-el-mar.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50946 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frigiliana-la-mirada-hacia-el-mar.jpg\" alt=\"Frigiliana, looking towards the sea\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frigiliana-la-mirada-hacia-el-mar-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frigiliana-la-mirada-hacia-el-mar-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frigiliana-la-mirada-hacia-el-mar-400x200.jpg 400w, https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frigiliana-la-mirada-hacia-el-mar-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lagarganta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Frigiliana-la-mirada-hacia-el-mar.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Periana, the town of archer origin<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Regarding the history of the name of this town in the Axarqu\u00eda of Malague\u00f1a, it responds to the existence of two large farmhouses of the time called \u201cPereira\u201d and \u201cSantana\u201d, from which Periana arose. With great Muslim history, we can see:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Church of San Isidro Labrador: a beautiful Church of the patron saint of the town that was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1884.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Ba\u00f1os de Vilo: Periana stands out for the great abundance of water that it has and that the Muslims used to make baths, being the Ba\u00f1os del Vilo one of them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">San Isidro Fountain: water is once again the protagonist and we find this fountain that receives the name of San Isidro, which has a beautiful appearance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Canillas del aceituno, a name with spoilers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Many of the names of the towns in the Axarqu\u00eda of Malague\u00f1a are of Arab origin and are also closely related to what he contributes. This is a clear example since it comes from &#8220;Caniles&#8221; (mines or galleries existing in the town) and &#8220;Acceitun&#8221; (because of the large number of olive trees there are). In addition to olive trees and caves, we can see:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The <\/span><a title=\"suspension bridge of El Saltillo\" href=\"\/?p=50687\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">suspension bridge of El Saltillo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> is one of the main and incredible attractions that you can see in Canillas del Aceituno.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Rosario and San Le\u00f3n Magno: a long name for a very pretty little church.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Casa de la Reina Mora: building where the town hall is currently housed and where in ancient times it was the point of sale for silkworms and their food, the mulberry leaf.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Medieval cistern: once again, water becomes important in the towns of the Axarqu\u00eda in Malaga, finding this small cistern.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Now that you know the 5 most beautiful and interesting towns in the Axarqu\u00eda of Malaga, we invite you to continue discovering other of the incredible regions of the province where you can find other attractions and points of general interest, such as El Caminito del Rey.
