Mijas - a little quaint town not far from the Malaga, is situated at the heart of "Costa de Sol" or literally known as the "Coast of the Sun".
It almost reminds you of Greece, with similar hues of Izmir Blue and Cobalt White, but what is different is the sea breeze and the charm of a traditional Andalucian village. Mijas was devoted to agriculture and fisheries but nowadays, it is a sun-decked village with rows of lavender, jasmine and colorfully potted charm.
You can also take donkey taxi here!
Despite of its narrow paths and cobblestone side street, it is hard to be lost in this town, as it only takes about an hour or so to cover the whole ground. Figuratively, this is an artist town, full of colorful ceramic plates, leather artisan goods, scented olive oil soaps, to be honest this is a town that feels good to be lost!
Quaint little shops with 100% cotton clothing. Perfect baby gift.
Do try the ice cream at Mayan Monkey Mijas - it is one of the world's smallest chocolate factory, and their ice-cream is divine!
