The coach eases out of Málaga and the Mediterranean opens up to the right: low scrub, terracotta roofs, and a blue horizon that dares you to look away. Within an hour the road climbs toward Frigiliana, where whitewashed houses and steep cobbled lanes fold into a Moorish street plan that still shapes the village’s rhythm.
