About Mijas Pueblo
Mijas Pueblo perches as a dazzling white mountain village at an altitude of 430 meters above the Costa del Sol and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the entire coast all the way to Africa. The picturesque Pueblo Blanco is famous for its charming donkey taxis that transport visitors through the winding streets, combining Andalusian village romance with the convenience of a well-developed tourist infrastructure. German tourists often use Mijas as a day trip from the coast, but the place deserves a longer stay: the numerous small museums, the craft shops with traditional ceramics and leather goods, the picturesque plazas with their tapas bars, and the beautiful hiking trails in the surrounding mountains make Mijas one of the highlights of Andalusia. The mix of authentic village life and viewing terraces overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean is simply irresistible.
