Spain's 56 Most Breathtaking Beachside Towns Worth A Visit

52. Frigiliana, Andalusia: The Balcony Above the Blue

While technically perched a few miles inland, Frigiliana earns its spot for the jaw-dropping coastal views alone. This whitewashed village clings to the mountains above Nerja, offering vistas of the Mediterranean that stretch for miles. Its Moorish-influenced streets are a mosaic of steep alleys, painted doors, and hand-laid stone mosaics, with flowerpots lining every path. Though there’s no beach in the town itself, a short drive brings you to the coast—making Frigiliana the perfect retreat for those who want sea breezes by day and cool, quiet nights under the stars. It’s coastal living with a poetic twist.
