Mijas
Two villages, one municipality: the iconic white mountain village of Mijas Pueblo at 430 metres, and the sunny coastal strip of Mijas Costa. Discover which side of Mijas suits you.
Two Villages, a Thousand Possibilities
Mijas is unique because you can choose between two completely different lifestyles here. High on the mountain lies Mijas Pueblo — one of the best-preserved white villages in Andalusia, with flower-filled streets, donkey taxis and views that reach as far as Morocco on clear days.
Along the coast, Mijas Costa stretches for 12 kilometres with modern urbanisations, golf courses and the charming La Cala de Mijas. Here you will find beach, sea and every amenity. Together they form one of the most versatile municipalities on the Costa del Sol.
Mountain or Coast — You Choose
Mijas Pueblo
White houses, narrow streets, flower pots and life all year round. Authentic living at 430 metres with cooler summers and milder winters. Mainly townhouses and renovated village homes. Perfect for lovers of the real Andalusia.
Mijas Costa
The entire coastal strip of Mijas — from Calahonda in the west to La Cala in the east. Modern urbanisations with pools, golf courses within walking distance and the sea as your back garden. Excellent infrastructure and amenities. Daily life here is practical and comfortable while you still live in Spain.
