Mijas, the most surprising white town.
Mijas is, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful white villages in Andalusia.
Tourists walk lazily through its narrow streets …
And also donkey-taxis, an originality that has now…
Become a classic ‘Celtiberian’ on the Costa del Sol.
If we approach this town, an essential visit will be the gardens of the old town.
Fortress, a watchtower that allows us to overlook this beautiful town from above.
From there, no matter how hard you try.
No photograph will capture the essence of what the view.
And other senses hold for us at that moment.
With that multitude of white houses clustered in the mountains as if by magic.
The arab past is present.
The Muslim origins of the town are also present…
In the beautiful tower of the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
Walking through the cobbled and labyrinthine streets of Mijas…
We will arrive at the Contemporary Art Center…
Which houses an important collection of ceramics…
Made by masters of the stature of Dalí or the great Picasso.

La Butibamba and El Bombo.
