Hiking El Fuerte (Frigiliana) El Fuerte is the most popular hike starting from Frigiliana. It’s a scenic and relatively easy hike (I give it a 6/10 on the physical exertion scale) that takes you to a 963 meter peak where you’re rewarded by 360 degree views of the mountains, sea, and towns along the coast.
