La Cala de Mijas

La Cala de Mijas is one of the original fishing villages situated on the Costa del Sol, in the province of Malaga. A charming village with a restored Moorish tower, a friendly village atmosphere and lots of appeal.

Located between the towns of Fuengirola and Marbella, close to popular urbanization of Calahonda, La Cala de Mijas is a very popular town with many good restaurants, shops, chemist and beach-front bars. Malaga International Airport is just 20 minutes drive away.

The town offers a nice easy paced life, not taken over completely by tourism, but with good facilities, a lovely golden sand beach and close to larger towns offering more action.

I like Cala de Mijas because it is small and manageable, quiet yet busy enough to be interesting. Better though it has a bus service to many places so in fact a car is not absolutely necessary... a nice plus! Nice restaurants, nice walking... just plain good.

Coast review

I know the coast well and return to it every year, so I must like it a lot!

There is so many places to go to. If you rent a car go to: Marbella, Fuengirola, Puerto Banus and Malaga. There is a new and lovely town within a few kilometres.

Not as exciting as we thought it might be. Would have preferred more restaurants/bars to keep the teenagers happy. If you're visiting as an older couple on your own - perfect.

Adore the Costa Del Sol - something for everyone on this coast.

Just the right size. A large village to a small town.

Rugged and beautiful. Easy access from Malaga to Marbella and beyond to Morocco if desired. The main A7 road cuts through the area allowing easy access to all parts.

Tourist oriented town - but in February, very few tourists so excellent service and no congestion. Many good restaurants and many British residents and businesses. Good beaches and very sunny and warm in February 2011. Dogs run free - look where you walk, even on beaches.

Coast review

Highly recommended for winter get-away. We were surprised more Canadians haven't discovered the area.
