Mijas covers two major ubanisations… Sitio de Calahonda and Riviera del Sol: English in essence is Calahonda with all things British; doctors, dentists, indian retsaurants, and pubs. The Riviera del Sol attracts many European folk into its large commercial centre with bars and grocery store and restaurants scattered around. The Mijas Villas areas are marked by lots of pretty coves and beaches with the housing (urbanizations) behind. Most of the complexes are carefully designed to incorporate Spanish influence and care has been taken not to produce concrete monstrosities.
Mijas Costa also boasts some of the coast’s more famous golf courses including La Cala Resort.
