Sierra de Mijas, Mountain chain in Málaga Province, Spain.

The Sierra de Mijas mountain range extends between the Guadalhorce Valley and Costa del Sol, reaching an elevation of 1,150 meters at Pico Mijas point.

The Sierra de Mijas has served as a natural boundary between coastal and inland regions throughout centuries, influencing the development of surrounding settlements.

The mountain range influences local traditions through its marble quarries, which provided materials for numerous architectural structures across Andalusia.
