Malaga Airport to Mijas

Mijas is famous for its historical centre with white and blue painted houses in narrow streets, its romantic restaurants, its "burro" taxis (donkey taxis) and its numerous souvenir shops.

Located at only 30 kilometres from Malaga Airport, at 450 m² above sea level the views are also sensational - out over Fuengirola and the rest of the Costa del Sol, to the Mediterranean Sea and on good weather the mountains of Morocco and Gibraltar.

You could visit Mijas by requesting a personalised excursion with a private taxi. Malaga Airport Transfers offers this service in luxury cars at public taxi rates.
