  • Mijas Travel Guide & City Information

the setting of Mijas is spectcaular. Just a few years ago it was a farming village, but today it is one of Spain's richest towns, with nearly 75,000 residents. It's old town has become a showcase, one of the most popular visiting spots with tourists along this part of the Costa del Sol. Mijas knows how to be picturesque - and also how to conserve and increase that charm. When burros were no longer needed to bring marble and lime from the quarries down to the coast, they were not put out to pasture but converted into "taxis" for the tourist. When, a few years ago, a bullring was built, it was much more original than any circular one: it was square.

Also located in Mijas is Byblos Andaluz, hotel-spa notable for its architecture and decor and a welcome resting place where one can enjoy the bounties of therapeutic sea bathing and some excellent sporting facilities, including an 18 hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones.
