On the foothills of the mountain range, Mijas enjoys a uniquely mild microclimate, which has turned it into a town virtually entirely dedicated to tourism with an outstanding infrastructure and ideal place to buy Mijas property. It is now surrounded by over 100 urbanizations, golf clubs, hotels, a funny water park and other facilities.
This typical Andaluz village is a great place to buy Mijas property, perched high above Fuengirola and Mijas Costa like so many sugar cubes with spectacular views of the coast and surrounding heavily wooded mountains. Fortunately, however, the village has still managed to retain some of its quaint traditions, one of the most unusual being the donkey-taxis which line the central plaza. The village dates back to distant time and there are two Mudejar churches here to prove it, as well as the sanctuary of the patron saint of Mijas, from the year 850.
The Mijas municipality covers an impressive 148 sq km and includes two major urbanisations of spanish property, Calahonda and Riviera del Sol. The former is informally known as the English village in Spain and the place to come for karaoke, second hand shops, British doctors and dentists, Indian restaurants, imported foods and, naturally enough, a plentiful choice of pubs.The nearby Riviera del Sol is similarly inviting and popular among foreigners, particularly the large commercial centre with its bar, telephone booths and grocery store combined. The sports centre is also well equipped and includes an 18 hole golf course and thriving tennis club.
