Your Guide to the Beautiful Town of Mijas and Day Trips by Car
Located on the eastern part of Costa del Sol, Mijas is a mesmerising blend of whitewashed Andalusian charm and modern resort facilities. Famed for its beautiful old town or Mijas Pueblo, overshadowed by mountains and peering over turquoise beaches and the Mediterranean Sea, it's a place that has managed to retain much of its 'white village' charm with cobbled, narrow winding streets, brilliantly white-washed buildings and myriad little shops selling everything from handmade pottery to locally made sweets.
A day trip by car from Mijas is a convenient way to explore the region, offering flexibility and the chance to see hidden gems along the way. One popular route covers the winding roads up to Ronda, famous for its striking cliff-side views, its remarkable bridges and historic bull ring. Another suggested route is the drive down to Gibraltar, an intriguing British outpost with its famous rock and wild monkeys. The driving distances from Mijas are around an hour and a half to Ronda and just over two hours to Gibraltar.
Amongst the must-see attractions in Mijas itself are the historic bullring, built in a distinctive oval shape, and the Church of the Immaculate Conception, built on the ruins of an old castle. For the more adventurous, a day at the Mijas Buggy Tours, where you can explore the local countryside aboard a powerful two-seater buggy, is a blast.
