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>Kopen in La Cala de Mijas: dorp aan zee, nieuwbouw op de heuvel<\/h2>\n<p>La Cala heeft twee markten. Het dorp bij het strand is bestaande bouw: appartementen en townhouses in de oude kern en de straten achter de zeefront, te voet bereikbaar van de markt, de kapel en het zand. De heuvel erachter, rond La Cala Golf Resort, is nieuwbouw, en daar bevinden zich het meeste van wat wij in Mijas aanbieden: op het moment van schrijven (oktober 2026) 360\u00ba by Cordia, Lak\u00fcn, Navigolf Suites, Laguna One, Valley Views en Elysea Suites, appartementen en penthouses vanaf ongeveer 240.000 euro tot net boven de miljoen, allemaal op <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/nieuwe-ontwikkelingen\/mijas-costa\/\">onze pagina Mijas Costa nieuwe ontwikkelingen<\/a>. Een nieuwbouw betaalt 10 procent btw en 1,2 procent registratierechten; een doorverkoop 7 procent overdrachtsbelasting vandaag en <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/blog\/andalucia-transfer-tax-itp-cut-2027\/\">6,75 procent vanaf 2027<\/a>Bestaande bouw, wanneer wij die hebben, staat op <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/woningen\/mijas-costa\/\">onze pagina Mijas Costa eigendom<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>La Cala de Mijas in 2026<\/h2>\n<p>De <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/blog\/senda-litoral-coastal-path-manilva-marbella\/\">Senda Litoral<\/a> runs along La Cala&#8217;s beach and links it to Riviera del Sol and Calahonda on foot, and the three courses of La Cala Resort are ranked against the rest of the coast in <a href=\"https:\/\/santinahomes.com\/nl\/blog\/costa-del-sol-golf-courses-guide\/\">onze gids voor elke golfbaan<\/a>Mijas is niet ons kerngebied en we zeggen dat ook; wanneer een cli\u00ebnt van ons hier verkoopt, verschijnt het op onze Mijas Costa pagina.

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.<\/p>\n<h2>Praktische informatie<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vliegveld:<\/strong> M\u00e1laga (AGP) ongeveer 30-35 min via AP-7<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dichtstbijzijnd strand:<\/strong> La Cala de Mijas strand, op loopafstand van het dorpscentrum<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dichtstbijzijnde supermarkt:<\/strong> Supermarkten in het centrum van La Cala<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scholen:<\/strong> Saint Anthony&#8217;s College (British\/Spanish curriculum, ages 3-18) in the hills above Mijas Costa is the main international school for the area<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dichtstbijzijnde golfbaan:<\/strong> La Cala Golf Resort, ter plaatse (drie banen)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ziekenhuis<\/strong> Hospital Costa del Sol, Marbella, ongeveer 15-20 min via AP-7<\/li>\n<li><strong>Auto vereist:<\/strong> Aanbevolen, vooral voor het golfresort en hellinggebieden<\/li>\n<li><strong>Woningtypen:<\/strong> Appartementen en huizen aan het strand in het oude dorpje; villa's en golfzicht appartementen in de resorthellingen<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apotheek:<\/strong> Farmacia la Cala de Mijas, C.

Het is twee keer per week geopend, op woensdagmorgen en zaterdagmorgen.<\/p>\n<h3>Hoe ver ligt La Cala de Mijas van Marbella?<\/h3>\n<p>About 15-20 minutes by car via the AP-7, depending on which part of La Cala you&#8217;re starting from.<\/p>\n<h3>Is La Cala de Mijas een golfbestemming?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. La Cala Golf Resort has three 18-hole courses &#8212; Campo Asia, Campo America and Campo Europa &#8212; designed by Cabell Robinson, set in the Sierra de Mijas above the town.<\/p>\n<h3>Heb je een auto nodig in La Cala de Mijas?<\/h3>\n<p>Voor het golfresort en de hellinggebieden, ja. Het oude dorpje en de waterfront zijn op loopafstand, maar een auto maakt het veel gemakkelijker om Marbella, Fuengirola en het resort zelf te bereiken.<\/p>\n<h3>Welke internationale school bedient La Cala de Mijas?<\/h3>\n<p>Saint Anthony&#8217;s College, in the hills above Mijas Costa, is the main international school for the area. It follows a British and Spanish curriculum for ages 3 to 18.<\/p>\n<h3>Waar is La Cala de Mijas?<\/h3>\n<p>Aan de kust van de gemeente Mijas, tussen Fuengirola, ongeveer 10 minuten oostelijk, en Marbella, ongeveer 20 minuten westelijk, met La Cala Golf Resort in de heuvels erachter. Vliegveld M\u00e1laga ligt 30 tot 35 minuten via de AP-7.<\/p>\n<h3>Ligt La Cala de Mijas in Marbella?<\/h3>\n<p>Nee. La Cala de Mijas ligt in de gemeente Mijas, op de Mijas Costa-strook ten oosten van Marbella. Het deelt de kustwegen en de Senda Litoral met Marbella, maar heeft zijn eigen gemeentebestuursdiensten, markt en scholen.<\/p>\n<h3>Hoe ziet het centrum van La Cala de Mijas eruit?<\/h3>\n<p>A real village core a street back from the beach: the boulevard with its bars and shops, the Wednesday and Saturday market, the chapel and the old fishermen&#8217;s streets, all flat and walkable. The newer apartment blocks spread inland and up the hill towards the golf resort.<\/p>\n<h3>Welke nieuwe ontwikkelingen zijn er in La Cala de Mijas?<\/h3>\n<p>Op het moment van schrijven bieden we 360\u00ba van Cordia, Lak\u00fcn, Navigolf Suites II, Laguna One, Valley Views en Elysea Suites aan, voornamelijk appartementen en penthouses rond La Cala Golf Resort, vanaf ongeveer 240.000 euro. De live lijst met opleverdatums staat op onze pagina met nieuwe ontwikkelingen op de Mijas Costa.<\/p>\n<h3>Is La Cala de Mijas een goed plaats om het hele jaar te wonen?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, more than most of Mijas Costa, because the village has a Spanish core that does not close in winter: the market, the schools, the bars on the boulevard. The golf resort above it is quieter out of season. Fuengirola&#8217;s hospital and shops are 10 minutes away.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Cala de Mijas?
