The town

What Mijas Costa is like.

Mijas Costa is where a great many buyers from the UK end up, and it is easy to see why. It is a run of beaches and urbanisations between Fuengirola and Marbella, with La Cala de Mijas as its town: a former fishing village that has grown into a place with a boulevard, a beach, a Saturday market and a good choice of restaurants.

Either side of La Cala are the big communities, Calahonda and Riviera del Sol among them, built for the sun and the pool rather than for Spanish town life. Prices are below Marbella, the beaches are long, and the golf courses are everywhere. A car is useful, though the coast bus runs the length of it.

Where to look in Mijas Costa

  • La Cala de Mijas

  • Miraflores and El Chaparral

    Golf-side communities among the pines, a short walk or drive from the beach.

    Resort communities inland with views over the courses and the sea.
