IT’S ‘authentic’ and ‘the real Spain’ … although it reminded one couple of Cornwall! Laurence Dollimore hit the cobbled streets to find out…
This is our third time here, we love to see the churches and old castles and the views are just fantastic, it makes a nice change from Fuengirola and the more coastal villages because it’s so scenic and beautiful. We like to get away from the coast and take a nice drive, it feels a lot more cultural here. It’s actually our 25th Wedding anniversary today, I was looking at the Cartier watches but he was having none of it!

It’s so beautiful and sunny and the views are lovely! It’s so relaxing here compared to other parts of Spain that I’ve visited, it has a real calm and tranquil air about it. I’m looking around at the medieval church while the rest of family have gone off for a tuk tuk ride.
We absolutely love it here, we have been coming here for over 13 years. It’s the beauty of it, the ambience about the place, the people are so friendly and the food – wherever you go – is wonderful with very reasonable prices, and the shops have really good quality stuff. We have been all over the five white cities and they are nothing on Mijas, this is the loveliest village we have found on the Costa Del Sol. We are seriously considering moving here out here.
This is our first time visiting Mijas and we will definitely come back, the stillness and calm of the village makes it such a peaceful experience, and the views that you get here are fantastic.
