Living in Mijas Pueblo

Mijas Pueblo keeps its old-village feel – cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, a hilltop bullring – while sitting a short drive from the coast. It’s popular with retirees and buyers who want authenticity over beachfront, though the climb up from the coast road means a car is genuinely useful here.
