More about Cala de Mijas

Setting

Situated on a bend in the coast, almost midway between Marbella and Fuengirola, La Cala is uniquely close to both long, sandy beaches and unspoilt countryside.

Characteristics

La Cala is built around the core of a small fishing settlement, and so retains the appeal of a typically Spanish village infused with a classic seaside ambience. The tight-knit centre of La Cala village offers a wide range of services to residents in the local area, as well as a very good choice of restaurants, tapas bars and cafés fronting either the old town or the long, sandy beach dotted with little coves as it follows the sweep of the coast. Close by are international schools, the three championship golf courses and luxury spa hotel of La Cala Golf, and a popular horseracing circuit with lots of entertainment that makes for a fun day out for the family. La Cala is also within easy reach of the international airport of Málaga.
