Mijas is one of the jewels of the Costa del Sol. And there are many reasons for this. For example, the Moorish heritage of its streets, which make Mijas a unique and peculiar town. Nestled in the foothills, Mijas looks like a white oasis among the mountains<\/strong>. Can you imagine living in such a paradise? At Sonneil, we help you<\/strong> find your home in Mijas<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on and discover one of the wonders of Malaga par excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mijas town: an Andalusian fairy tale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cobbled streets, white fa\u00e7ades, balconies with flowers… yes, Mijas looks like a fairy tale. An Andalusian fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience the tradition and joy of the south in the best way: strolling through the town centre<\/strong> (be prepared for the hills!) or riding around town in one of the popular donkey-taxis. Flowerpots give touches of pink, yellow, violet… our favourite alleys are Calle de los Gitanos, Calle de las Flores and Calle Co\u00edn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Greeks to Muslims<\/strong>, Phoenicians, Romans and Visigoths, Mijas was cherished by many civilisations, before being reconquered by Isabella I of Castile in the 15th century. And it is hardly surprising, because Mijas seems to have been designed to be enjoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start at the Plaza Virgen de la Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>, where the Town Hall is located, and continue along the beautiful hermitage<\/strong> of the Virgen de la Pe\u00f1a -dug out of the rock by a friar over the course of thirty years-, Calle M\u00e1laga and its shops, the old town hall<\/strong> and the ethnographic museum, the Fuente de los Siete Ca\u00f1os fountain… and finish with the Paseo de la Muralla<\/strong>, where the views of the Mediterranean Sea are breathtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mijas Costa: living for the sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One thing we love about Mijas is that we can choose between the tranquillity and tradition of Mijas town and the summer bustle of Mijas Costa, one of the best known beach destinations<\/strong> on the coast of Malaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
