Set in the peaceful hills of the sun-drenched Costa del Sol, Mijas is the picture-perfect Spanish town. Between the historical old town and the more touristy coastal area – home to bigger hotels and resorts – you’ll get the best of both worlds on your Mijas holiday.
When people refer to Mijas, they’re often talking about the heart of the town, the historical Mijas Pueblo. Here you’ll discover bright-white houses dotted on the hillside like sugar cubes, as well as pretty cobbled streets draped with bougainvillea and lined with colourful plant pots. It’s brilliantly relaxed, the kind of destination where you can spend your days wandering between churches, sipping coffee or sangria in the main square or catching a live band at sunset.
Active travellers will love it here, too. Perched on a pine tree-covered hill, Mijas is surrounded by peaceful hiking trails, ranging from easy to challenging. Get those Instagram-friendly holiday snaps on an afternoon wander, enjoying the stunning views over coastal towns and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea.
And if it’s variety you’re after, a Mijas holiday delivers; you can be hiking the hills in the morning and relaxing on the beach in the afternoon (or vice-versa). Looking for sand and sea? Head to Mijas Costa. With a top location – it’s close to the beaches – and a good spread of English-speaking bars and restaurants, it’s an excellent choice for families.
There’s also a good range of accommodation on offer in Mijas, from self-catering apartments to luxurious hotels, along with plenty of activities to keep the most fidgety of travellers entertained. Watersports? Check. Bicycles for hire? You can bet on it. Crazy golf? Absolutely!
