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 begins at the donkey-taxi sculpture. From there, participants will ascend a modern panoramic public elevator to admire the Avenida del Compás and its traditional donkey taxis.

Discover the origins of this transport method and visit the Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, excavated by Mercedarian monks in the 16th century.

The tour proceeds past the Plaza de la Constitución to the remains of the ancient Arab wall. As we explore picturesque streets with whitewashed buildings, we will reach Mijas' main religious monument, the Immaculada Concepción church, built on a former mosque from the Andalusian period.

Before descending to lower Mijas, we will stroll through La Muralla Park, which offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast. On our return to the town centre, there may be an opportunity to attend public open-air flamenco shows near the shopping streets.

From the shopping area, we will visit the Plaza de la Libertad and Málaga street, where we will see the San Sebastian chapel and the CAC Contemporary Art Centre (recommended for a visit after the tour).

The tour concludes at the Plaza de la Virgen de la Peña.
