About the Area

Mijas is divided into three different areas or districts, you could say. It is Mijas Pueblo which is the part that is located up in the mountains, Las Lagunas which is a modern built-up residential area and Mijas Costa which is a 12 km long coastal strip with various small towns, where La Cala de Mijas is located in the middle.

The coastline includes El Chaparral, La Cala, El Combo, Calahonda and the Riviera del Sol.

One of Mijas Costa's longest beaches is called Calahonda and is over 4500 meters long and 25 meters wide. The beach is located right next to the town of Calahonda and is therefore a very popular beach. There are many bars and restaurants here. This beach is very suitable for families because there are both lively beach bars and some that are much calmer.
