It started out as a small Andalusian fishing settlement &#8212; a scatter of fishermen&#8217;s cottages, a couple of bars, a chapel and a school &#8212; before Spain&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>The area is built around La Cala Golf Resort, three 18-hole courses &#8212; Campo Asia, Campo America and Campo Europa &#8212; 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.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8212; one of the longer-running markets on this stretch of coast. The A-7\/AP-7 runs along the town&#8217;s northern edge, giving quick road access to both Fuengirola and Marbella.<\/p>\n<h2>Comprar en La Cala de Mijas: pueblo junto al mar, obra nueva en la colina<\/h2>\n<p>La Cala tiene dos mercados.
