If you want to soak in some sun, you will want to visit June – September (average temp: 97 °F). Busy tourist season and high peak costs are from May – July. If you want to keep costs low, but enjoy some nice weather I would recommend visiting outside of the months mentioned above.

When venturing to the enchanting streets of Frigiliana, a radiant gem of a sugar cube town nestled in the Spanish countryside, I have just a few travel tips to help your trip even better!
Being greeted by a dog AND enjoying some top-notch views of Frigiliana in cozy villas? The only thing better would be if the dog comes with the villa!

And although the dogs here were a MAJOR highlight, the property itself is very cozy and charming with incredible views of Frigiliana, a pool, a delicious restaurant and the sweetest hosts! This is definitely one of the best things to do in Frigiliana.
