The picturesque Andalucian village of Mijas is a pretty, typically Spanish, whitewashed village situated right at the centre of the Costa del Sol. It sits in the lowlands of the Sierra de Mijas mountain range, surrounded by pine forest, 428 metres above sea level and just 25 mins from Malaga's airport. The bustling coastal resort of Fuengirola is only 8 Km away and boasts one of the largest beaches on the coast. Andalucia is reputed to have the best climate in Spain with 325 annual days of sunshine and an average temperature in excess of 20C.

Wander through the narrow cobbled streets of the village, which has managed to retain much of its traditional Andalusian way of life, and visit local attractions including the bullring and many good quality little shops selling pottery, including Lladro, leather goods, local crafts and Mijas crafted jewellery. There are numerous street cafes, restaurants and bars - most run by local Spanish families and exhibitions, concerts and theatre shows are on most weeks in the surrounding area.
