About Las Cala de Mijas

La Cala de Mijas, once a humble fishing village, has evolved into the bustling heart of Mijas Costa, yet retains its Andalusian seaside charm, attracting a community of 10,000 residents, many of whom are British. This coastal gem is equipped with schools, a health center, a library, post office, and a cultural center, surrounded by a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants, making it a sought-after location for buying property in Spain.

Twice weekly, the vibrant street market ‘El Barratillo’ springs to life between 09:00 – 14:30, offering an array of fresh produce, local handicrafts, clothing, and more. These markets are a must-see for those investing in Spanish property or seeking the perfect holiday home on the Costa del Sol.

Cultural festivities come alive during the annual fair starting on July 25th, filling the streets with traditional Spanish wines, tapas, music, and dance, showcasing the local heritage – a charming draw for those looking to move to Spain or indulge in the Spain real estate market.

The enchantment of La Cala is epitomized on summer Saturday nights with ‘Noches de Luna y Playa,’ where classical music and flamenco ripple against the historic backdrop of the 16th-century Torre Vieja and moonlit beach – an idyllic scene for those interested in Costa del Sol home buying.

La Cala de Mijas is a culinary delight, hosting a plethora of dining options. From the bustling Boulevard de la Cala to the serene seafront along Calle Torrejon, there’s a dining experience for every palate. Whether it’s the casual beach bars, traditional Restaurant El Torrejon, chic Restaurant El Deseo, El Olivo de La Cala or the authentic Spanish vibes at Centro de Mayores, La Cala serves up a feast for the senses, perfect for those seeking properties for sale in Spain or looking to enjoy the amenities as a resident or visitor.
