TAKE IN A FREE FLAMENCO SHOW
  • Tip Rating:
  • ^Wednesdays in Mijas are busy, as the word has spread that there is a FREE FLAMENCO SHOW every Wednesday. It is held in the gazebo in the central square of Mijas. You can't miss it. It was an awesome show. It lasted about an hour and the dancing was fabulous. I love watching their feet. The costumes were beautiful.

    Virgin of the Rock Shrine
  • Tip Rating:
  • Legend has it that this Statute of the Virgin Mary dates back to pre-Moorish times and was hidden and forgotten for 5 hundred years until rediscovered in 1586. The statute looks no more than 100 years old at worst

    Aquatic Park Mijas - SPLASHHH
  • Tip Rating:
  • Parque Acuático Mijas

    Escape the hot beaches and visit the Parque Acuático Mijas, which offers plenty of pools and crazy slides as well as picnic areas and restaurants.
    Start with the Body Ski, a medium-speed family slide, before plucking up courage to go on the Labyrinth, where slides take you on twists and turns before throwing you out into the pool. If you want more, the wild river takes you on a ride on a float and the kamikaze slide is a sheer three-storey drop. The Adventure River claims to be "the wildest ride you've ever had".

    To chill out between the rides, relax in the Blue Lake and the jacuzzi, or watch a band by the stage and play some mini-golf.

    For children there's Lizard Island, the latest interactive play area, the Kiddie Play Area with its shallow pools or the wave pool with surf and waves. With all the other amenities, a family can easily stay here all day.

    ADULTS 14,50 Euros
    CHILDREN from 4 to 12 YEARS 9,50 Euros

    Look Up and Down
  • Tip Rating:
  • The town of Mijas is carved into the upperpart of the South face of the Sierra Mijas with a view down and over Fuengirola and the sea beyond. There is a belvedere that I did not venture ou onto but the vistas nearby are quite fine (somewhat diminished by the unseasoble weather). Rearing up above the town is the rest of the Sierra. The climb up here by bus was quite convoluted.

    Mijas churches
  • Tip Rating:
  • Mijas is a great walking town. A right turn there, a left turn here. Down that narrow alley, up that hill. It has a few churches, of course. This one was open when we walked by. What a charming, typical Spanish church! And all white, naturally.

    Mijas is known for its two Mudejar churches. "Mudejar" is Spanish architecture of the 13th to the 16th century, combining Moorish and Gothic styles. In addition to these two churches are the two shrines: one on the hill and the other built into a rock.

    When I google Mijas and Mudejar, I come up with the same thing. Mijas has two Mudejar churches. I know one is the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción, but what about the second one? Is this it? What is its name? Click on second photo for a picture of the exterior.

    Now who is this fool?.... even while doing the housework he has a camera in his hand. Thats a clue that it is almost certainly a VT member. An Ambassador and very well known. Send me your answers and I'll tell you if you are 'Wright'.

    Explore on foot
  • Tip Rating:
  • The best way to get to know Mijas is to explore it on foot, and away from the busiest streets. This picture shows a typical Mijas street in the residential area. This has all the hallmarks of Mijas: white washed buildings, wrought iron balconies, tile streets with mosaic designs, narrow streets leading up the hill. Some of these streets have shops on the first floor, and once you get away from the busy parts of Mijas, you'll find shops that are frequented by locals, not tourists. Take a look through these shops to experience the "real" commercial and social heart of Mijas.

    Inside the Plaza de Toros
  • Tip Rating:
  • Inside the Bullring I was surprised what a small intimate setting it was. It seats maybe 100 people tops and all are close to the action.
