Mijas

Mijas is an expansive and versatile municipality on the Costa del Sol, which is uniquely divided into the historical mountain village Mijas Pueblo and the modern coastal strip Mijas Costa. The history of the place dates back to antiquity with influences from the Phoenicians and Romans, but the current character is mainly determined by Moorish architecture and the famous whitewashed facades. The climate is exceptionally mild and sunny, with the higher elevation of the village providing a refreshing breeze in summer while the coast enjoys warm Mediterranean temperatures.

The main attractions are the iconic donkey taxis in the village and the unique oval bullring, while the coastline offers beautiful beaches and an extensive wooden promenade along the sea. The local gastronomy is rich in tradition with specialties such as "salmorejo" and fried fish, which are served in both atmospheric village squares and modern beach restaurants. For golf enthusiasts, Mijas is an absolute top destination, as the region is home to the famous Mijas Golf and La Cala Resort with three full championship courses.

The residents form a welcoming and international community where the traditional Spanish lifestyle effortlessly blends with the wishes of a large group of European residents. The surroundings are characterized by the impressive pine forests of the Sierra de Mijas and the glittering coastline of the Mediterranean Sea that is always present in the background. Living in Mijas offers many advantages, including an enormous variety of housing types, an excellent infrastructure near Málaga airport, and a perfect balance between rustic peace and tourist entertainment.
