Mijas is a town in Andalusia and, unusually, is surrounded by the sea, mountains, and forest. Unusual, because it is not often that all three are seen together. As you might expect, in the heart of the Costa del Sol, it is filled with whitewashed buildings, and it is divided into four sections, the Pueblo – which is the town – Las Lagunas, which is a suburban commercial area; Costa, which is the main commercial area and also the residential area; and La Cala de Mijas, which is a small village and seaside resort. The weather overall in Mijas is fairly mild, but as you go up the mountains – rather predictably – it gets colder.
La Cala used to be just a small fishing village, but today it has grown to a population of around 10,000 which means that most of the locals still recognise each other in the street, but in the summer – July and August – it can get quite busy with tourists. La Cala has lots of chiringuitos (bars), cafes, and family-owned shops. There is a street market called El Baratillo which is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays and sells gifts, fruit and veg, and a lot of other items. In July, the village has a week-long festival of music and dance where you can sample local delicacies.
