Mijas

Mijas Pueblo

Mijas is a typical Andalucian white Village, perched high above Fuengirola and Mijas Costa and like so many of the Pueblos it offers spectacular views of the coast and surrounding heavily wooded mountains. There are no main thoroughfares here, instead a web of narrow cobbled streets complete with terraces overflowing with geraniums, red tile roofs and archways.

The Village is made up of many nationalities; this is reflected in the international cuisine, cosmopolitan clubs and associations and in general the influence of foreign culture and the arts.

Fortunately, however, the village has still managed to retain some of its quaint traditions, one of the most unusual being the donkey-taxis, which line the central plaza.

There is a thriving arts and crafts movement in Mijas. The Village has a central park area, which often plays host to many outdoor concerts and special events such as the villages from around the world. This event sees representation from most Countries who come together for a big celebration in order for you to sample some of their food, drink and culture.

Mijas Costa

Just as Mijas Village is serenity, tradition and culture, so Mijas Costa equals that magic combination of sun, sand and sea sports. The beaches at La Cala have been awarded the "Blue Flag" as among the best in the province and are geared to provide action: jet skis, water skiing and Para sending are all on the go. Be sure to check out the chiringuito charm here too, where you can sample a variety of Spanish seafood eaten with a favourite holiday drink.
