- 3 bedroom La Cala De Mijas villa to rentAugust 2022 ★★★★★Lovely, quiet family complex and within 15 minute walk from the central of La Cala. Large pool, football cage, tennis and a playground on the complex. Fantastic club house as part of the gold course. Large apartment with lots of amenities, large terrace, very comfortable. Only disappointment was that the pictures in the advert appear to be of a show home equivalent and the property was a little tired in terms of decor and a few bits of furniture. Would return againAlisonFamily from Newport, United Kingdom

Mingle with the welcoming locals and explore the whitewashed streets of Mijas Town’s historic quarter, with its Greek and Phoenician architecture. Although now a popular tourist destination, Mijas has very much preserved its authentic Andalusian charm, seen through the lively streets lined with colourful flower pots and the 17th century Church of the Immaculate Conception in the town's centre. As a former mosque, it's a fascinating piece of architecture with its ancient tower bells. Beautiful Mijas has all the charms that holidaymakers could want from the Costa del Sol; from the whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets of the old town, to the picturesque views across the natural landscape. Stroll along the Arab walls, take a scenic donkey ride tour, or be blown away by the miniature artworks at Mijas Max's Wagon Miniatures Museum.
