Nature lovers will enjoy the mountains surrounding Mijas. The Sierra de Mijas nature reserve offers beautiful hiking trails with impressive views. The coastline is also perfect for beach walks and water sports.
For a unique experience, we recommend a trip to El Caminito del Rey – a spectacular hiking trail along steep cliffs.
In addition to nature and culture, Mijas has several iconic spots. Think of the historic chapel Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, carved into the rocks, and the cozy central square Plaza de la Constitución. In the square, we always get our favorite ice cream at La Abuela, delicious!
