Mijas Pueblo is the historical core of the municipality of Mijas, located on a hillside above Fuengirola in the Costa del Sol region of Andalusia. It is famous as a classic Andalusian white village with narrow streets, whitewashed houses, plazas, and viewpoints overlooking the coast. The municipality of Mijas includes three main urban areas: Mijas Pueblo (the mountain village), Las Lagunas (coastal urban area), and La Cala (seaside village).
Key attractions in Mijas Pueblo include scenic miradors (viewpoints), the Plaza de la Constitución, narrow cobbled lanes, small artisan shops, and botanical corners that typify Andalusian white villages. It sits about 30 kilometres from Málaga Airport and offers a mountain-above-sea setting that transitions from rugged hills down to the coast.
