The best walks and hiking trails near Mijas — from the flat coastal Senda Litoral to mountain summits like La Concha and Los Reales.
A short, steep path from the top of the village up through the pines to a small white hermitage on the hillside — about half an hour up, with a fine view back over Mijas and the coast.
Sierra de Mijas, from Mijas Pueblo
The 1,150m summit of the Sierra de Mijas, topped by a white weather 'golf ball' — a steep, signposted half-day hike from the village with views from Málaga to Gibraltar. Take water; there is little shade.
A flat wooden boardwalk along the shore from La Cala de Mijas west towards Calahonda — around six kilometres each way, past coves, watchtowers and beach bars. Easy, pushchair-friendly and at its best early or at sunset.
