It has a long summer period from June until October, when it is hot but pleasant with no humidity and no rain, ideal for beach holidays. During other seasons there is plenty of sunshine, so that you can enjoy lots of outdoor activities, such as golf and tennis.
Mijas Costa is very popular with people from all walks of life, it has something for everyone, it is not difficult to see why people come back year after year.
La Cala (the creek) is a charming former fishing village. It now plays host to a wide and varied range of eateries and bars. Why not dine on the beach front in one of the popular restaurants, like the new Olivia’s Champagne and Lobster Bar and restaurant, owned by Elliott Wright. There is a Supersol, LIDL, ALDI and a Mercadona (supermarkets) and plenty of banks / ATM’s. There is also a wide range of beauty salons, and a wonderful spa facility, this is the perfect place to unwind, and pamper yourselves.

The restaurants are reasonably priced and the ambiance is lovely. Recommended.
