Mijas village is filled with quintessential cobbles streets which wind there way through the pueblo and make it one of the most popular ‘pueblos blancos’. On summer evenings there is nothing better than taking a stroll to the church and looking down on the coast. You simply relax as a gentle breeze wafts through the balmy air. This is exactly what millions think of when they imagine of Mijas. Seriously, it takes some beating!
Life in Mijas is a pleasure for most of the year, however during the summer months, parking can become a nightmare if you don’t have your own reserved spot. The town welcomes thousands of tourists, who arrive in rented cars or on bus trips. Residents who are not involved in tourism, can find this a little overwhelming.
Both Malaga and Marbella are only 30 minutes away. Gibraltar is a little further west and is about an hours drive. The beach towns of Mijas Costa which were once small fishing villages, have grown into primary destinations in their own right. The Mijas area, is an extremely popular place for residents too call home. As is Fuengirola, which is technically not Mijas Costa, but sits directly on the beach, below Mijas.
