Mijas es uno de los mejores ejemplos de "pueblos blancos" que conserva la mayor parte de su encanto con sus pequeñas casas pintadas de color blanco y situadas sobre la ladera. El pueblo ha conservado una de sus tradiciones más pintorescas, los burro-taxis que se encuentran en uno de los laterales de la plaza central. Mijas es un pueblo típico andaluz situado en Malaga, por encima de Fuengirola y Mijas Costa, con vistas espectaculares de la costa y rodeado por montañas repletas de arboles. Las estrechas calles de Mijas forman una red, asfaltada con adoquines, delimitadas por terrazas llenas de geranios, con azoteas cubiertas por tejas rojas, pasillos abovedados y el canto ocasional de algún canario. Al igual que Ronda, aunque situada a más altura en la montaña, el descubrimiento del pueblo se remonta hace muchos años y hay dos iglesias de origen Mudejar que lo demuestran, así como, el Santuario del Patrón de Mijas desde el año 850.

Al igual que Mijas Pueblo es sinónimo de serenidad, tradición y cultura, Mijas Costa es una combinación mágica de sol, arena y deportes acuáticos. Las playas de La Cala han sido galardonadas con la Bandera Azul como una de las mejores de la provincia y está preparada para darnos diversión, motos de agua, ski acuático y parapente. Comprobará que allí también hay chiringuitos encantadores donde podrá degustar la variedad de mariscos españoles con la bebida favorita de las vacaciones, el tinto de verano: vino tinto con casera o refresco de limón.

El municipio de Mijas cubre la impresionante cifra de 148km cuadrados, e incluye dos urbanizaciones de las más grandes, Sitio de Calahonda y Riviera del Sol. De manera informal se le llama el pueblo ingles en España, es el sitio donde encontraremos karaokes, tiendas de segunda mano, doctores y dentistas ingleses, restaurantes indios, comida importada y naturalmente una amplia variedad de pubs. La cercana Riviera del Sol es igualmente atractiva y popular entre los extranjeros, en particular su gran centro comercial con sus bares, cabinas de teléfono y su tienda de ultramarinos. En el ámbito de los deportes está muy bien equipada, con un campo de golf que dispone de 18 hoyos y un prospero club de tenis. Muchos de los complejos de viviendas de Mijas Costa, son el hogar de inmigrantes británicos, alemanes y escandinavos. En la zona podemos encontrar bonitas calas y playas entre las que existen urbanizaciones. Muchas de ellas están diseñadas para incorporar influencias españolas y evitar construir monstruosidades que desentonen con el entorno y que acaben formando sus propias ciudades dentro de una ciudad. Mijas Costa también alardea de alguno de los campos de golf más famosos.

Sweets, parties, lights, markets lots and lots of poinsettias and a huge parade in January. The Spanish Christmas is lovely, low key and family oriented but with all the magic that Christmas is supposed to envoke.

At the start of December, the stores start selling mantecados and turrones. Mantecados are sweets made from lard and powdered nuts, with different flavors, like lemon or chocolate. Turron is a nougat candy made from almonds. There are about a dozen different types of turron. These sweets appear only before Christmas, as they are traditional Christmas sweets. After Christmas they are difficult to find, except in a few stores. Most foreigners like these sweets and then they get frustrated the rest of the year when they cannot find them in the stores. The only problem with these sweets is that they are habit forming, and if one eats too much, one starts gaining weight, because they are loaded with calories. What are addictive are turrons made with chocolates and truffles.

By the middle of December, the city authorities have put about 2 and a half million holiday lights downtown. At night the streets are full of people who come to see the holiday lights. One will be amazed at the enormous number of lights.

Nativity Scene In Malaga and Spain, few decorate their houses with Christmas trees. What is traditional is the Nativity scene. People arrange little statues of Christ, the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the sheperds in little displays in their homes. The Cathedral also shows beautiful Nativity scenes. There is usually a very elaborate Nativity scene in the city hall and parents bring their children to see them. Many hermandades and other churches also display their own Nativity scenes. The best statues are those that were made in Naples, Italy, and these antiques are very valuable.

Christmas Eve It is the custom in Malaga and all of Spain to go to midnight mass on Christmas Eve. The families get together on that night or the next day and have a meal together. All of the extended family will attend, so the meal may have 30 or more people. The meal will usually be a feast with a lot of food, especially the jamon Serrano (cured ham). There will be shrimps, seafood, chicken, turkey, mutton, soup, vegetables, and all kinds of appetizers. They may have paella too. For dessert they have traditional foods, such as roscos, which are sweet breads filled with cream or pastry. These have to be ordered in advance from the bakeries. Besides eating, the people present at the party will be talking, usually all at the same time, so a visitor is overwhelmed by the noise. This is natural for the Malagueños, who associate a good time with a lot of talking.

Forthcoming events for June

The Marbella Feria 8th-14th June
A celebration of Andalucian Charm in the town of Marbella. Taste local produce, dance the flamenco, drink the vino and ride the fair attractions.

Corpus Christi is another celebration, which stirs up the people of Benalmadena Pueblo. One of the attractions of this event is the spreading of flower petals and herbs spread on the streets by the people of village on the eve of the procession. The aromatic perfume and the carpet of natural colour, transforms the village streets and creates an evocative atmosphere.

June 24th is the day of San Juan. Arroyo de la Miel celebrates from 24th to 29th June with its annual local fair. 2004 saw a record number of visitors when some 16,000 people attended the last night of the celebrations. This is also a favourite time because it is the start of the warmer nights on the coast. It is a popular fiesta all over Spain with bonfires and fireworks usually starting from midnight on the 23rd.
This event is celebrated along the Costa del Sol.
