Just a few to get started..
These are a few taken in the traditional white village of Mijas Peublo ( not to be confused with Mijas Costa which is a huge area of urbanisations) nestled 1404 feet above sea level up in the mountains high above the coastal tourist town of Fuengirola and overlooking the Mediterranean sea..
Mijas village is built into the steep mountain side so every street is extremely hilly and with many paved with cobblestones, and although you can drive a car up there the streets are so narrow for the most part that it's easier as we did to park on the periphery of the village and just walk around, or take a donkey Taxi, Horse and carriage or as we did after we walked around for an hour or so, to take a ride in a chauffeured Tuk Tuk.
The village is very popular with tourists but apart from a few restaurants and the amazing view there's only a smattering of artisan shops to visit selling leather goods and ceramics.
Sadly on the day we visited it was mostly cloudy and the sun only came out for an hour or 2...but I still think it looks lovely with big black thunderous clouds at times .Here's the first few of many photos I took in Spain...
A typical road in Mijas village
A Donkey Taxi
Models, statues and sculptures of Picasso the celebrated Spanish painter and sculptor adorn many Shop and cafe doorways as well as City Plazas ..and none less than in the Malaga region where he was born..and this fun one was in the doorway of a ceramics workshop..
