Mijas Guided Tour

Explore the historical centre of the charming village and its curious surprises, such as its famous donkey taxis, with this Mijas Guided Tour. Let yourself be captivated by the beauty of this corner of Malaga.

Mijas Guided Tour

The Mijas guided tour will begin by the sculpture of the donkey-taxi. From this location, we will go up to a modern panoramic public elevator to admire the Avenida del Compás and its traditional donkey taxis. The origin of this transportation method is notable. We will also see the Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, excavated in the rock by Mercedarian monks in the mid-16th century.

The tour will continue past the Plaza de la Constitución to the remains of the ancient Arab wall. As we progress through the picturesque streets with whitewashed buildings, we will reach the Immaculada Concepción church, built on the remains of a mosque from the Andalusian period.

Before descending to the lower part of Mijas, we will walk through La Muralla Park, where viewpoints offer panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast of the Costa del Sol. On the way back to the town centre, we may attend one of the public open-air flamenco shows often held next to the shopping streets.

From the shopping area, we will go to the Plaza de la Libertad and Málaga street, to visit the San Sebastian chapel and the CAC Contemporary Art Centre (recommended for visiting at the end of the tour).

The tour will end by returning to the Plaza de la Virgen de la Peña.
