La Cala is a small fishing village in between Fuengirola and Marbella and just a 25 minute drive from Malaga International Airport. The long sweeping sandy beaches of La Cala are perfect for families and a small playground area just in front of the beach is an ideal place for the children to play. There is a small square and an excellent ice cream parlour just in front of the beach where it is safe for children whilst looking out across the sea (Gibraltar Rock can be seen on a clear day).
There is a water slide fun park in Fuengirola, just 5 km away (10 mins drive). The old Mijas Pueblo (old town) is a definite must, the small white sugar cube houses set on the mountain side and the old small narrow cobbled streets of Mijas must be visited as this is a taste of real 'old Spain'. But don't just take my word for it, go and see it for yourself and as an added bonus the sun shines in this part of Spain for 300 days of a year!
