🇪🇸❤️ FOUR DAYS, THREE CULTURES & 16 TAPAS! ❤️🇪🇸
Never have we experienced such fun in four days! 🎉
A mini movie because there is absolutely no way to capture the madness and magic of Frigiliana Festival 3 Culturas in ten photos! 😂
For four days this beautiful little white village completely transforms.
The streets are packed, the plazas are buzzing, music is coming from everywhere, there are processions, dancing, performers, markets, concerts, fabulous smells wafting from every corner…and thousands of people wandering around eating, drinking and generally having a VERY good time. 😂🍷💃
And obviously, we threw ourselves wholeheartedly into the important cultural activity of… the Tapas Route. 🤣
18 stations.
18 different tapas.
One tapas passport.
Four nights but we did them all in two 🤣
DONE ✅ and a t-shirt each as proof!
Basically a highly organised endurance event involving food and wine.
But what makes this fiesta so special is the story behind it.
The Festival de las Tres Culturas celebrates the Christian, Jewish and Muslim heritage that has shaped Frigiliana and Andalucía over the centuries. You see those influences everywhere here – in the winding Moorish streets, the architecture, food, music and traditions.
So amongst all the partying, eating and general chaos, there’s a real celebration of the history and cultures that helped create the Andalucía we love today.
And THAT atmosphere… ❤️
Hot, noisy, ridiculously busy, colourful, joyful, exhausting and absolutely bloody brilliant.
Frigiliana was the village that first stole our hearts and started our love affair with Spain, so being back here for this incredible fiesta felt pretty special.
We ate. We drank. We walked approximately 97,000 miles uphill. 😂 We laughed until our faces hurt.
And somehow we completed all 18 tapas stations.
For the culture, obviously. 🤣🍷🇪🇸
Here are the many, MANY photos to prove it… ❤️
And we’re already looking to book for next year. Who’s coming? 🤗
