It's a very beautiful village and one we like to visit, we always take family and friends who come to stay with us there. But for me personally, I would not choose it as a place to live for a few reasons. One, the sheer number of tourists (and they come year round) can mean a lot of congestion especially on the road from and to Nerja. Two, it's very hilly and it's hard work going up and down the streets especially in hot summer weather. Three, I don't drive and although there is quite a good bus service during the day between Frigiliana and Nerja, it stops early in the evening and because of the number of tourists using it the buses are usually very crowded sometimes to the point of not being able to get on. Ùsing public transport, you have to get to Nerja before you can go anywhere else from Frigiliana Four, although there are shops in the village, for things like major supermarket shopping, it's necessary to go to Nerja or elsewhere.
