The province of Málaga has many appealing towns and inviting stretches of coastline so it’s often difficult to pinpoint the most perfect place in the region to set up a new home. However it is easy to include Mijas in any list of the best residential locations on the Costa del Sol, and there are numerous reasons why non-Spanish people move there to enjoy its amenities and appreciate a perfect lifestyle.
Surrounded by a dramatic landscape that incorporates sea, forest glades and magnificent mountain peaks this likeable municipality of Andalucía is more than a coastal resort or mountainside village. Situated just a half hour drive from the historical city of Málaga and its international airport, Mijas can be divided into certain distinct areas that each offer something different to residents of the region.
Sprawling across mountainous terrain a few hundred metres above the shores of the Mediterranean is the white washed village of Mijas Pueblo. This is the oldest part of the district that bustles with life throughout its cobbled Moorish streets and plazas, appealingly Andalusian with wrought iron balconies and colourful hanging flowers.
From Mijas Pueblo it is only a short drive to the beaches and the more commercial district of Mijas Costa situated on the coast between Fuengirola and Cabopino, an eastern suburb of Marbella. This diverse area houses some popular residential developments and several holiday resorts including Calahonda, Riviera del Sol and the charming La Cala de Mijas. Mijas Costa is a great destination for families due its safe beaches and the suburban commercial area Las Lagunas which hosts a multitude of shops, bars and restaurants.
Mijas as a whole is the ideal region to purchase a new home or holiday villa on the Costa del Sol. Surrounded by acres of stunning golf courses, close to fantastic beaches and first class lifestyle amenities it’s arguably one of the best residential locations in southern Spain.
