Mijas Pueblo: A Postcard-Perfect White Village

First things first, let's talk about Mijas Pueblo itself. This quaint village is a maze of narrow, winding streets lined with whitewashed houses adorned with colorful flower pots. As we stroll through these charming alleys, I'll share fascinating stories about the town's rich history and point out hidden corners that even some locals don't know about. Trust me, your Instagram feed will thank you later!

Plaza de Toros: A Unique Oval Bullring

Now, I know what you're thinking – another bullring? But hear me out! Mijas' Plaza de Toros is one of only a few oval-shaped bullrings in the world. Even if you're not into bullfighting, the architecture alone is worth a visit. Plus, the views from up here are absolutely breathtaking. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Africa!

Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña: A Chapel with a View

Speaking of views, wait until you see what's in store at the Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña. This tiny chapel, carved into the side of a rock, offers panoramic vistas of the coastline that'll make your jaw drop. Legend has it that the Virgin Mary appeared here centuries ago. Whether you believe in miracles or not, I guarantee you'll feel a sense of peace in this special place.

Mijas Donkey Taxis: A Quirky Tradition

Alright, I'll admit it – this next one is a bit touristy, but it's such a fun experience! Mijas is famous for its donkey taxis, a tradition that dates back to when workers would ride home on their donkeys after a long day. These days, it's more of a novelty, but the donkeys are well-cared for, and it's a great way to give your feet a break while taking in the sights. Just don't forget to snap a selfie with your new four-legged friend!

CAC Mijas: Contemporary Art in a Historic Setting

For all you art lovers out there, the CAC Mijas is a must-visit. This contemporary art center might seem out of place in such a traditional village, but that's what makes it so special. The contrast between the modern artwork and the historic building is truly something to behold. Plus, they often feature works by Picasso and Dalí – talk about a cultural goldmine!

Local Cuisine: A Taste of Andalusia

No tour would be complete without sampling some local delicacies, right? On our excursions, we'll make sure you get to taste some of Mijas' best traditional dishes. From refreshing gazpacho to crispy churros, your taste buds are in for a treat. And let's not forget about the wine – the local vintages are simply divine!
