We were staying in a self catering property a few minutes drive from this lovely pueblo. With its white washed houses, narrow cobbled streets the village has got many tourist shops but also a large variety of restaurants catering for all budgets and tastes. We found the best one near the entry on the right hand side called Restaurant El Puerto ...

Mijas is a treasure, other reviews are misleading. OK the donkies may be a bit wiffy but the town certainly is not. As for animal manure all through the streets this is just not true. A cleaning machine appears to work constantly. There are some really good value family run restaurants serving home cooked food. Try the Alarcon in the Barrio ...

We liked it overall, nice white village not to far from the coast.

food was great in bar Alarcon.Its in the barrio santana

Its a bit full of souvenir shops, but its still a nice stroll around

A mustdo is getting your photo taken in traditional flamenco costumes at Foto Mijas in calle carril

Mijas is one of the Andalucian white pueblos. The town sits on a mountainside with a wonderful view of the Mediterranean to the south, and mountains to the north. Conveniently located about 25 minutes from Malaga's international airport, it presents a compelling combination of access to amenities as well as areas of seclusion. There are a few ...

Its really smelly.. but its worth it to go there and experience donkey riding for you and your kids.. its true the stores are overpriced.. and donkey + horse waste is everywhere on the streets.. but the souvenir shops r nice to see.. also there are people that sell some snacks there.. try it.. its nice.. they have something that looks like pretzels but its much softer and LARGER

Mijas may be picturesque and is worth a visit for the views, but the restaurants are poor quality and overpriced, and it has basically developed into one large souvenir shop.

I would recommend a morning's sightseeing there but no more.

Having lived in Andalucía for over 10 years now I have visited many much more authentic white villages, ...

Mijas is overpriced in goods. The same merchandise can be found at the beaches (made in China) for half the price. The restauraunts over priced.... The atmosphere contrived... The best thing about the place is the chapel up in the hills and the walk up to it!

Take the public bus from any of the coastal towns;it's about $1.45 round trip.The shops are friendly, the people helpful, and the fun is everywhere.Most resturants have views of the ocean 2000 ft below or the mountains behind the village.The shops have great gifts and the town is charming. There is much to do but it takes only a relaxing half day.
