La Cala de Mijas

La Cala de Mijas translates into ‘The Cove of Mijas' a beautiful fishing village located in the center of Mijas Costa and close to Calahonda. The original fishing village has grown over the last 30 years and now covers a large area from the village up the hill overlooking the cove yet manages to maintain something of its Andalucian village by the sea atmosphere.

La Cala’s most cherished historical monument is the watchtower. It is two stories high and has a roof terrace. Used in the 12th century as a watchtower to defend the Spanish coast, it is now a museum and tourist information centre.

This close-knit atmosphere lends the resort a village atmosphere, where even the beachgoers all seem to know each other. Although many original Spanish families are still living in the town and many Spanish tourists also visit the area during the middle of the summer, the area is also home to a large expat community,
