"Good souvenir shop with decent prices where you can buy the local sugar cane syrup that is produced in the factory next door called: el ingenio. The factory is open once a year for visits... if you are lucky it's well worth a visit to see the natural sugar cane extraction process (2017 opening is on April 30th)"

"Nice spot near the center of town. This place seems to cater to tourists looking for a quick bite. There's nothing special about the food, but the service is professional, and there are several comfortable tables with umbrellas outside. The prices are good for a touristy area, too. My wife said that the bathroom was "fine," high praise coming from her."

"The view here is great and the french fries was amazing, handslices and fried just before we got them felt luxurary. Could honestly be the best fries I had in a long time! The mixed sallad was kinda boring and lowered my score a bit!"

"We stopped off here while staying in frigiliana a few times. We had a quick bite to eat and a few drinks which were lovely as was the service. A lovely little place to have a rest and watch the world go by for an hour. Pizza and fries we ordered were lovely. Prices are very reasonable considering you're slap bang in central frigiliana. Will definitely return on our next visit."
