The walk started in the narrow village streets, then up various steps and paths past houses to a viewpoint.
We then went down a bit to a water tank and mill, then started to go steeply up through pine trees.
As we got higher the views just got better. We'd started quite early to avoid the hottest part of the day, but it was still tough going.
Eventually we got to the trig point at the top (1005m) where the views were magnificent.
To get back down we simply retraced our steps. We passed a limekiln and a couple of donkeys on the way.
As we approached Frigiliana we had good views of it.
Once we got down we bought a welcome ice cream. We drove to the Caves of Nerja and bought a ticket.
It was timed for 3pm so we had time to pop to the supermarket in Nerja for provisions. We then went round the cave, which was impressive with all its stalagmites, stalactites and other rock formations.
We went home and watched the England Scotland rugby match over a few beers.
In the evening we went out, first walking to a bar with great views of the sunset over the village.
Then we went to a restaurant where we had hummus, fried aubergine with honey and roasted vegetables with rice.
