Of the 20 most beautiful villages in Spain, 3 are less than 3 hours away from Nerja/Torrox.

Recently, the online searcher Trivago, has made a selection, very “sui generis”, because fortunately, it is very difficult to make an objective selection of only 20 beautiful villages in our country.

Nevertheless, it strikes me that Nerja or Cómpeta are not included, although I can understand that not only beauty is sought, but that they have changed little over the years, or at least remain faithful to their roots.

However, and this is why I want to write this entry, it is no coincidence that at least 3 of them are less than 3 hours away from the Nerja/Torrox binomial.

About Frigiliana, a town that appears in practically all the lists of beautiful towns in Spain, and that is only 6 km away, we are told that it is one of those corners not to get lost and we are invited to visit the “Barribarto”, or high neighborhood, as it is declared a Cultural Interest Asset. It also appears at number 8.

They also name Mojácar, as an example of an Andalusian town that can offer sun, beach, beach bar and an active nightlife in summer. Walks along narrow streets, terraces, contrast of white with the blue of the sea and heart attack viewpoints, with views that captivate everyone who contemplates them.

Mojácar is about 2 and a half hours away following the motorway to Almería. And yes, it is undoubtedly a privileged place. This one appears in the number 5.

Very different is Zuheros, of which I have already spoken in another entrance, and yet it is less than 2 hours away. Already in the interior, south of Cordoba, and that is not only a beauty, but a ooze of peace.

These are three simple examples of the privileged location in which we find ourselves, and thanks to improved communications with the new highways, today we are just a short trip away from these beauties.
