Mijas Villa Secret
March 5th, 2010Mijas Village might be an image of serenity and tradition, however the sun drenched coast of Mijas Costa with fantastic sandy beaches and fun water sports are what this beautiful resort in Spain is all about these days. Mijas Costa’s La Cala beaches are Blue Flagged and considered the safest beaches in the provence: jet skiing, water skiing and parasailing are all on the go. The restaurants along the shore serve excellent Spanish food and many serve up Tinto de Verano - a mix of red wine and fizzy water.
The Sitio de Calahonda and Riviera del Sol are both major developments consdiered part of the Mijas area. Calahonda is very English with many pubs, karaoke, british doctors, imported foods in the shops etc. The nearby Riviera del Sol is similarly inviting and popular among foreigners, particularly the large commercial centre with its bar, telephone booths and grocery store combined. The Mijas Villas areas are marked by lots of pretty coves and beaches with the housing (urbanizations) behind. Most of the complexes are carefully designed to incorporate Spanish influence and care has been taken not to produce concrete monstrosities.
Mijas Costa also boasts some of the coast’s more famous golf courses including La Cala Resort. Mijas’ neighbouring golf hotspot, it is the largest golf complex in Spain with 3 full courses: Campo América, Campo Asia and Campo Europa. This beautiful 1,000-acre complex is only a short distance from the Sierra de Mijas Natural Park, and includes property with apartments, homes, villas and a luxury hotel.
All of these considerations has ensured that Mijas attracts Europeans keen to find Spanish style with European amenities without the harsher climate of Northern Europe. The new hostpital is only 15 minutes away and of a hig standard and even newspapers can be found in the shops before 9am featuring French, German and English languages!
