Cala de Mijas A former fishing village between Marbella and Fuengirola, anchored by a golf resort and a working street market

Was ist Cala de Mijas?

La Cala de Mijas sits on the Costa del Sol between Fuengirola to the east and Marbella to the west, in the municipality of Mijas. It started out as a small Andalusian fishing settlement -- a scatter of fishermen's cottages, a couple of bars, a chapel and a school -- before Spain's 1960s tourism boom turned it into a beach town. The old village core still sits close to the seafront, with the newer development spreading inland toward the Sierra de Mijas.

The area is built around La Cala Golf Resort, three 18-hole courses -- Campo Asia, Campo America and Campo Europa -- designed by Cabell Robinson in the foothills above the town. The resort draws a steady flow of golf buyers and holidaymakers alongside the residential population, and much of the property market in the hills above La Cala is oriented around it.

Twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, the Recinto Ferial hosts a street market with around 115 stalls selling fresh produce, clothing, crafts and food -- one of the longer-running markets on this stretch of coast. The A-7/AP-7 runs along the town's northern edge, giving quick road access to both Fuengirola and Marbella.

A mix of international retirees and golf buyers in the hillside resort area, and year-round residents -- Spanish and foreign -- in the older village core near the beach. Families are drawn by the schools and the flatter, walkable streets close to the seafront; golf-focused buyers tend to sit higher up, closer to La Cala Golf Resort.
