The two towns in Málaga that you 'must visit to say that you know Andalusia'

Andalusia is a paradise, especially for those who know it. The Andalusian, no matter the province, is aware of the charms and wonders that surround this vast community, from north to south and especially from east to west. But, what are the villages you must visit to be able to say 'I know Andalusia'? If we start listing them, some might lose count, which is understandable with such a number, Málaga alone surpasses a hundred. This titanic task has been undertaken by Viajar magazine, highlighting a dozen Andalusian villages with which you can affirm that you know Andalusia, including two from Málaga, Ronda and Frigiliana.

"Villages of Andalusia that perfectly exemplify the beauty of this community," say the editors of Viajar, before showcasing those charming villages that typically consist of "extremely steep streets or unique viewpoints". In addition to Ronda and Frigiliana, they also include villages like Setenil de las Bodegas, Vejer de la Frontera and Olvera from Cádiz, Montefrío from Granada, Zuheros, Priego de Córdoba and Iznájar from Córdoba, and Cazorla from Jaén.

Ronda

"Ronda is one of the most famous villages in Málaga, and not without reason because its imposing height will surprise us at first, but we will be breathless when we see the views from up there", they explain about Ronda, one of the ten villages of Andalusia that will give you a good perspective of what this territory is like. "The history of this picturesque place dates back more than 2,000 years and its privileged geographical location (at the top of a cliff) makes it the perfect fortress," they add.

Among the most interesting points about Ronda, a few of the many they have, they do not overlook the most striking: "The symbol of the city is the New Bridge (18th Century), an impressive construction that connects the oldest area of the old town with the more modern places. But to travel even further back in time, we can visit the ancient Muslim walls that defended this enclave, as well as palaces like the Mondragón or the Arab Baths".

Frigiliana

"Another mandatory stop is this typical Andalusian white village with dozens of flowers adding color to the narrow alleys, which is also included in the list of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain," they detail about Frigiliana, for many the crown jewel of the province of Málaga, undoubtedly one of the many charming villages of the province that has gained special notoriety in recent years.

"We will start our tour by strolling calmly enjoying streets like Hernando el Darra or Real", they begin about the points of interest and the charm of the municipality: "During our walk, in addition to feeling like we are inside a fairy tale, we will photograph every corner since each one can become the perfect wallpaper. But we continue walking and discovering its monuments, from the Church of San Antonio to the Palace of the Counts, ending a perfect day".
