Whenever we have visitors staying with us, we always take them for a scenic drive along the back road from Torrox pueblo to the beautiful white village of Frigiliana.
The views across to Frigiliana and Nerja are stunning!
This photograph was taken from the terrace of Los Caracoles Restaurant and Hotel. Towards the bottom left you can see the white village (pueblo blanco) of Frigiliana and, over to the right, the nearby town of Nerja, with the Mediterranean Sea in the background.
This view never fails to take my breath away …. no matter how many times I see it!
I’ve never posted any black and white photos before, but I wanted to show support for a new venture set up by my blogger friend, Sonel. I hope you will, too!

Hi Marianne,
After reading Cathy’s posts about visiting you I tried to leave a comment on your post “Photographs I love …. and why! [Part 9]” but WP wouldn’t permit me…Huh?
I look forward to visiting Frigiliana. I can see from your photos that its not to be missed. (I like the B/W photo )
Hello dearrosie
I wonder why? At least I’m glad that this comment has posted OK.
Anyway, I absolutely recommend a visit to Frigiliana to anyone.
Thanks for taking the trouble to comment – much appreciated.

Marianne, this looks like a beautiful view, and the white village looks so cozy nestled in the folds of the hills. The black and white works so well with that silhouette of the tree and that lantern. Very nice!! 🙂
I will be driving you along this very road, next month 🙂
Oh boy, I can’t wait, Marianne!! I’m so excited, and I tell you, my last days here are dragging. Every minute seems an eternity. I’m sure once I get to Spain, time will fly by!
Great shot! A simple shape in the foreground, and the beautiful range of tones in the background ….perfect for monochrome 🙂
It’s reassuring to have you say that, Sue. Thank you.
As I’ve said in a number of previous comments, I have never posted a monochrome photo on this blog before and, as (very much) an amateur photographer, it’s difficult to know which one to choose. Fortunately, this one seems to have gone down quite well 🙂
Certainly has! 🙂 And I’ve been browsing through your blog, might have to do the white bunny challenge someday!
You’d be very welcome to do the white bunny challenge ….anytime, Sue 🙂
What an amazing view, Marianne. Love the monochrome; it’s very effective.
Thanks Sylvia – what a lovely compliment 🙂
WHat a lovely view Marianne. I must say althought I love B&W I rarely use it either so Sonel’s challenge is fab!
My feelings exactly, Gilly – it was just the push I needed 🙂
I love the B&W, in that it has all those subtle graduations of grey… subtle but powerful 🙂
I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. 🙂
I can see the attraction. 😉
A fabulous view and shot.
It’s a funny thing – posting in B&W. I found making the choice of photo much more difficult. I think it came out right in the end though 🙂
Much appreciate your comment, Gemma.
It is difficult to decide which photo to convert and which to leave color. At least we have the choice to do that and much more these days. 😉 Excellent choice.
lovely photo
Thank you.
🙂
I love monochrome pics, very emotive and evocative so this one is big hit with me
Glad you like it – thanks, Dallas 🙂
it is an interesting silhouette : )
The lantern is in an old gnarled olive tree. Lovely, isn’t it?
Perfect, Marianne! Love the perspective, great image!
Thanks Amy 🙂
Beautiful shot and very well-suited for B&W, Marianne. Easy to see why you bring your visitors through the area.
I found it hard to choose a shot as I really have no idea what goes well in B&W – but I agree, I think this one is lovely.
It’s even lovelier for visitors in colour, though 😉
Great shot. Works well in B&W
Thanks so much, it’s very kind of you to say so.
Lovely
Thanks 🙂
Stunning photo!
Thank you muchly!
That curvy tree/lantern looks terrific in black and white! Good on you for posting 🙂
Thanks Meredith, much appreciate your comment 🙂
What an absolutely stunning photo Marianne and the black and white doesn’t make it any less beautiful. Thanks for taking part, for your support and for being such a sweet lady. Gorgeous entry for sure and I love it! 😀 *big hugs*
I enjoyed posting my first B&W photo, Sonel – and thanks for giving me the push I needed. Glad to give you support – it’s what we do for each other, isn’t it? 🙂
Amazing atmosphere – doesn’t matter to me it’s grey-black-white really love it… 😉
Thanks Ducky!
Sometimes black’n white better captures the “feelings” or atmosphere – excellent captured, Marianne… 🙂
Yes – absolutely. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for posting this Marianne , we were there last week and it was stunning. There was a festival taking place june 13th so vibrant and fun. Unfortunately about to take off from malaga now 😦
That’s right – it was Fiesta weekend in Frigiliana last weekend! Did you go on any of the fairground rides, Roy? Sorry to hear you are on your way home – come back again soon, wont you?
I keep playing about with it… also with tinting… but I’ve not been ‘brave’ enough to post anything like that. Good on you (and Sonel) for spearheading the way!
Just put on your big girl pants – and DO IT! 🙂
I shall! You just wait….
*taps foot* 😉
Patience…
…is one of the virtues I don’t possess!
Me neither!!!!! 😦
LOL
Good picture but here in UK there is enough grey so I think I prefer the colour!
Oh well, you’ll be able to join in then, Andrew! 😉
Colour next time!
I look forward to it already!
Thanks!
Good lass! I’m planning to do the same (when I get round to it!) but I was so looking forward to a colourful ride with you this morning. Maybe another time? 🙂
Awwww is your weather bad again, Jo? 😦
You’ll find lots of colour on my new FB page – including an update on the little veggies I planted recently 🙂
I’ll try to waft some sunshine your way!
Cool Photo, I like black and white photos.
Thanks – me too, but I’ve never posted any on my blog before. This was just the push I needed 🙂
