Mijas holiday apartment: Mijas Pueblo

The easy access from Malaga Airport means that the holiday starts as soon as the luggage is collected and the taxi located. These can be booked in advance from Mijas Cars, or just join the fast moving queue outside. Make sure you have the directions and that you know where in Mijas Pueblo you want to go.

The apartment is clean and has everything you need, including a good range of books and games as well as a television with satellite. The pool is clean and has been warm enough to swim in at the end of October. The beautiful gardens are tranquil and well tended all adding to that holiday atmosphere.

If you want to cook there is a good selection of equipment in the kitchen and the shops are only a short walk away or the daily market near the Post Office. For those who want a break from cooking, there are many places to eat out, even in October, all very hospitable. Our favourite is La Gamba, with paella to die for, but there is also a selection of other restaurants nearer at the top of the road. Each one has it sown style

The atmosphere in the village is so relaxing and you don’t need to go far to enjoy traditional Flamenco dancing held each week in the square and sample Malaga wine at the same time. You can stroll up to the Botanical gardens near the Bull ring and have a coffee and cake whilst reading the English Newspaper you have bought on the way, or just enjoy the view down the hillside to the sea. Having done this you can then ample back to the apartment for drinks on the balcony.

Public transport is reliable and not expensive, so a trip to Malaga to see this beautiful City is worth a visit. We have gone on the train, but you can take a coastal bus. The Picasso Museum has a range of different exhibitions and we have easily spent a day there, in between frequenting the restaurant. We keep promising ourselves a visit to The Alhambra, by bus from Malaga, or you can hire a car. After 10 years it is time we just booked in advance to go!

We can’t wait for the airline to let us book for the next trip.

This is a very comfortable flat in an ideal location - on a quiet road about 5 minutes walk from the centre of Mijas. We particularly liked the beautiful garden setting and view of the Med from the south facing balcony. Mijas itself is a very pretty little town and a great base from which to explore the area. We hired a car but there is a good public transport infrastructure. The hills above the town are great for walking, especially when we were there in early spring -wild flowers and butterflies everywhere.

Property was in excellent location, within walking distance of supermarkets, restaurants and public transportation. The apartment had all facilities as advertised and the information pack including local maps and restaurant recommendations, was invaluable. Txhe Swimming pool and gardens were well maintained every other day. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quite peaceful holiday.
