The beautiful town of Mijas is a set of whitewashed houses perched on the mountain with magnificent views of the Mediterranean.
Mijas has three main areas, Mijas Pueblo (the village), Mijas Costa (the coastal strip) and Las Lagunas (a modern residential and commercial area). There are also three small rural out-lying districts called Entrerrios, Osunillas and Valtocado.
There is just a 20-minute drive between the quaint Mijas Pueblo, with typical old Andalusian traditions and customs, to the more residential and livelier beach location of Mijas Costa, which is very cosmopolitan.
The charming town has winding slopes full of decorative colourful pots overflowing with flowers, standing out from the whitewashed buildings. Its typically Andalusian architecture and magnificent panoramic views of the Mediterranean are undoubtedly two of Mijas’ best assets.
Today there are many foreign residents settled in Mijas, one of the most popular locations for expats in Andalucía. So much so that it even has a Tesco supermarket providing foreign products and brands.
La Cala de Mijas is the central point of Mijas Costa. Despite its growth, especially over the last decade or so, it continues to maintain part of its Andalusian seaside village atmosphere, once being a tiny fishing village. Now there are numerous schools, a health centre, public library, post office, shops, and cultural centre, as well as many excellent bars and restaurants.
There is a very popular street market (“El Barratillo”) every Wednesday and Saturday. The market stalls offer everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to local crafts, clothes, ceramics and pottery, flowers, and plants, and lots more.
In Mijas, avid golfers will be spoilt for choice with golf courses such as Mijas Golf, La Cala, Calanova Golf, Cerrado del Aguila to name a few.
The municipality has growing urban development along the coast and the mountain slopes.
