Mijas

Mijas extends from the Sierra de Mijas mountains to the Mediterranean Sea, encompassing three distinct areas: Mijas Pueblo, La Cala, and Las Lagunas.

The village resisted Christian forces until 1487, when the fall of Málaga led to capture and enslavement of numerous local defenders.

The traditional architecture features narrow streets and white-painted houses that climb the mountainside, reflecting centuries of Andalusian building techniques.

The municipality maintains seven golf courses, including La Cala Resort, while offering agricultural production of potatoes, cereals, and avocados.

General Torrijos and his men landed at El Charcón beach in 1831, seeking refuge in Mijas before their capture and execution at San Andres.
