Mijas is an old white village about 20 minutes drive from our house (or you can catch the bus at the end of the road for a couple of euros). It's lovely to wander around the viallge, there are the usual tourist shops, horse and carriage rides, amazing views and some great restaurants. There is now a chocolate factory there where you can make your own bars of chocolate.
