The City
La Cala
La Cala de Mijas is the heart of Mijas Costa (the coastal strip of Mijas municipal district) and although it has expanded over the years, it still maintains something of its Andalucian seaside village atmosphere. La Cala de Mijas is a former fishing village on the coast and is popular as it still retains its village atmosphere. Today the population has increased to 10,000. There are schools, a health centre, public library, post office, shops and cultural centre, as well as many excellent bars and restaurants.
La Cala de Mijas is known for its beautifull beach, nice atmosphere and the popular street market (‘el barratillo’) every Wednesday and Saturday. The market stalls offer everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to local crafts, clothes, ceramics and pottery, flowers and plants, and lots more.
La Cala celebrates its own festivals, such as the annual fair which begins on 25 July, when the village is all decked out for a week of festivities, and you can sample traditional wines and tapas, listen to local music, and enjoy the dancing.
Saturday nights in the hot summer months of July and August are magical in La Cala. The promenade becomes a venue for classical music and flamenco dancing. With the outline of the old 16th-century watchtower of Torre Vieja as a backdrop, and moon reflecting down on the expanse of sea, the village celebrates a season of Noches de Luna y Playa (Nights of Moon and Beach).
«A cosy apartment close to everything! We had a great time with our two kids. We could walk to the beach and the restaurants so there was no need for a car. That gave us a calm and nice holiday»
– Katharina Storeng, 45 year old from Norway
