Mijas is a beautiful village nestling in the mountainside above Fuengirola and Mijas Costa, which spectacular views of the sea. Wandering around the narrow cobbled streets will make you understand why so many writers and artists have made this pretty Andalucian village their home. White-washed houses with red tile roofs hug the hillside and are lavishly decorated with colourful geraniums.

Mijas Pueblo has managed to retain a traditional way of life, and locals display a passion for all things festive whilst taking the relaxed attitude that things can always be put off for another day. Tiny shops line the streets, brimming with local crafts including hand made pottery and prints by local artists, jewellery and leatherwork. The best way to explore the village is using the burros, or local donkey taxi service.

Since its discovery in the sixties, Mijas has become home to many different nationalities, and this is reflected in the international cuisine, cosmopolitan clubs and local associations. The benefits of the pleasant year-round climate are obvious without any of the busy commercialism of the coastal towns.

Our villas, townhouses and apartments are on the renowned Mijas Golf complex, just a short drive from the Mijas. All are well equipped and perfectly placed to make the most of all the activities the local area has to offer.

Local recommended beaches…

Mijas Costa - is the long stretch of coast between Fuengirola and Marbella where the majority of the beaches are sandy but fairly narrow.

La Cala - beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag for cleanliness, and are among the best in the province. Superb water sports are on offer including jet skiing, water skiing, parasending and more. Be sure to experience the chiringuito (small open-air bars or beach restaurants), where you can sample a variety of Spanish seafood eaten with a favourite holiday drink ‘tinto verano’ - red wine topped up with lemonade.

Fuengirola - Fuengirola has 5 miles of sandy blue flag beaches, making it a very popular tourist destination. There is a wide promenade interspersed with palm trees, benches and colourful flower displays. There are a huge array of water sports, and an eclectic array of restaurants and cafés on shore.

Torremolinos - This vast beach is noisy and fast paced 24 hours a day, with 6 miles of wide, sandy beaches, lots of water sports and masses of bars and restaurants. The largest and most popular two are Playamar and Bajondillo, which both offer safe swimming and all sorts of water sports. Bars and cafés along the promenade offer respite and refreshment away from the sun.

Take time to go…

to Tivoli World - the biggest theme park on the Costa del Sol – at Benalmádena Costa. There are over two dozen rides to discover including some for the very young. Restaurants, bars and a good concert program make for a good family day out.

visit Gibraltar for some tax-free shopping and visit the grand rock… or for something different, take a dophin spotting trip through the Straits.

visit the popular street market at Mijas Costa on Wednesday or Saturday mornings for everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to local crafts, clothes, ceramic and flowers.

visit the annual fair on 25th July and take part in a week of festivities at La Cala. Sample traditional sherry, wines or tapas, listen to music and dance the night away.

experience a typical Saturday night in the centre of Mijas – take a walk along the promenade and witness the classical music and Flamenco dancing. With the 16th watchtower or Torrevieja in the backdrop and the moon reflecting off the sea, the town celebrates a season of Noches de Luna y Playa (Nights of Moon and Beach).
