Areas we cover
Mijas · Málaga
Mijas is a sprawled municipality: Mijas Pueblo sits in the hills, Las Lagunas is the most urban and commercial area, and La Cala, Calahonda and Riviera stretch along the coast with gated urbanisations. Distances between centres are long and many houses fall outside bus routes, so a car changes the working day completely.
