Mijas Shopping

In Constitution Square you will see hanging from the balcony of shops some Moroccan rugs and other traditional carpets. There is lots of uniquely designed jewellery and leatherware as well surrounding this square.

Craft shops abound with the usual postcards, magnets, fans, paintings, jewellery as well as ornaments such as the colourful bulls that you see all over stain which come in several sizes. You will also find some lovely scarves and shawls.

In the town you will find the Diamond & Jewelry Centre. All their jewellery is in 18k gold. You can also buy loose diamonds and have them set yourself or have them design a setting for you. Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

If it is more the traditional ceramics you are looking for the you should visit Artesania de Espana. Their ceramics come from all over the country and the quality is very good. There are however many opportunities to buy lovely ceramic wall hangings and pots.

Mijas Pueblo has some great shopping. There is some wonderful handmade clothing to be bought at reasonable prices. The smallest shop had some beautiful cardigans and poncho-like cloaks. Leather is also a good purchase whether it be in clothing or in leather work.

Great shop in Mijas Pueblo called "Tickled Pink" sells a huge range of jewellery and ornaments and Betty Boop items. Particulaly good are the magnetic health jewellery items exclusive to the owners Mark and Suzie, these are especially good as they are both beautiful and have health benifits. They sell alsrts of interesting things and it is one of those shops that each time you visit you find something you didn't see last time! The ranges of jewellery are extensive and range from delicate to chunky high fashion prices also are across all ranges. Look out for the Angel pendants which are unusual and lovely.

Go past the tacky souvenir shops that first greet you upon your arrival in Mijas and explore the many side streets in Mijas. You'll find many upscale shops that sell high quality leather goods, clothing, ceramics, olive oil products and jewelry. The leather goods are very inexpensive. Mijas has a number of official Lladro retailers, so if that is your thing, you'll enjoy looking at all the figurines. Look for the best stores in the narrow streets off of the busiest streets in Mijas.

What to buy: Not being big shoppers on vacation, we didn't buy much - just a belt, a wallet, a coin purse, some olive oil soap, small bottles of Spanish olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and saffron (which is much cheaper in Spain than in the USA). Light weight products are the only things we'll buy. Who wants to lug heavy stuff around for the remainder of the vacation?

Another reason people flock to Mijas, is for their wonderful variety of Shops. Everything from ceramics and pottery to jewellery and beautiful leather goods. I was impressed with the quality of the leather jackets, luggage and purses that one store had on display ( picture featured ). I really liked browsing through the ceramic stores with all their colorful wares. There was also the usual souvenir stores and shops selling embroidered tablecloths and linens.
