Explore its history and culture

From the morning you can enjoy a good breakfast at our hotel and then spend the rest of the day touring this corner of the Costa del Sol. Mijas Pueblo and its historic center are the favorite place to learn about the history and tradition of this municipality. In addition to visiting museums, viewpoints and numerous hermitages, you will also find many taverns where you can enjoy a good traditional meal.

Starting your tour in the Plaza de la Constitución, you can appreciate all the bars and craft stores, enjoy its cobblestone streets and white houses full of flowers. Places like the Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, a kind of sanctuary carved into the rock, that has a fascinating history, or the Mirador del Compás, where you can enjoy spectacular views of the coast and the mountains, are stops that we highly recommend. In addition, every Saturday you can also enjoy a flamenco show from 12 PM in the Plaza de la Constitución.

The many stores selling local products in the area are perfect for taking home a souvenir of your day.

Traveling by car or cab, you will reach these places quickly. Otherwise, you also have the option to travel by public transport, in this case there are several transfers in Fuengirola. If you need more information on this aspect, we recommend you to visit the Consorcio website.

The attractiveness of the coast of Mijas

Another thing you can do in Mijas on a weekend is to dedicate another day to visit the coastal area. As our hotel is located on the beachfront, you have the Butibamba Beach just a few steps away. Whether your visit is in winter or summer, in the Costa del Sol the weather usually accompanies most days of the year, so you can enjoy a nice walk in the sun, either by the seashore or along the coast. In this case, we recommend you to walk along the Senda Litoral, which is a promenade that runs along the coast and links with more beaches and other points of interest.

In summer, in the Butibamba Beach you can also rent kayaks, paddle surf boards or any element if you want to practice water sports.

But Mijas Costa is not only beaches. Eating at a beach bar or restaurant is also a plan that has no waste; you can enjoy the exquisite local cuisine and then visit other places of interest nearby.

The flea market of La Cala de Mijas is held every Wednesday and Saturday of the week from 9 AM to 2 PM at the fairgrounds of La Cala de Mijas, next to the caravan parking. From our hotel or any point of the coast is just over 10 minutes walk and you will find a variety of products at reduced prices.

But you can not only enjoy activities during the day. During the night, Mijas Costa invites you to take a more relaxed pace by the sea to finish the day. You can start with a dinner in a beach bar or restaurant tasting any delicacy, then you can enjoy a relaxing walk along the promenade, where you will find bars and terraces perfect for a drink. Many bars and pubs also offer live music where you can end the day in the best way. In addition, depending on the time of year, there are also festivals.
