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

Our Mijas guided tour will begin by the sculpture of the donkey-taxi. From this location, we'll go up to a modern panoramic public elevator that will allow us to admire the Avenida del Compás and its traditional donkey taxis. The origin of this means of transport is sure to surprise you! We'll also see the Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña, excavated in the rock by Mercedarian monks in the 16th century.

The tour will continue past the Plaza de la Constitución to the remains of the ancient Arab wall. As we carry on through the picturesque streets full of whitewashed buildings, we'll reach the main religious monument in Mijas, the Immaculada Concepción church, built on the remains of a mosque from the Andalusian period.

Before descending to the lower part of Mijas, we'll take a walk through La Muralla Park, offering extraordinary panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast. On the way back to the town centre, we may attend one of the many public open-air flamenco shows typically held next to the shopping streets.

From the shopping area, we'll visit two more symbolic locations in Mijas, the San Sebastian chapel and the CAC Contemporary Art Centre (recommended to visit at the end of the tour). The tour will conclude by returning to the Plaza de la Virgen de la Peña.
