Mijas

Mijas, is a typical Andalucian village, perched high above Mijas Costa and Fuengirola like so many sugar cubes with 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, archways and, of course, the occasional chirruping canary.

Since this village was first discovered in the sixties, numerous nationalities have made the pueblo their home and the impact can be agreeably appreciated via the international cuisine, over-seas residents 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.

Mijas village dates back to distant time and there are two Mudejar churches here to prove it, as well as the sanctuary of the patron saint of Mijas, from the year 850 AD.
