Whitewashed Village of Mijas
As you jaunt along the radiant Costa del Sol from Málaga and climb into the forested hills, you will soon come upon one of the gleaming whitewashed villages for which the region of Andalusia is renowned. Mijas is a lovely example of a typical Andalusian town with a charming medieval village and remains of a Moorish castle, while it also boasts all the virtues of a modern Mediterranean getaway. Stroll past buildings adorned with pretty iron balconies and brilliant flowers spilling over the walls.
