Why go?

Stone houses, narrow streets, and stunning coastal panoramas — just a few turns above Fuengirola.

Highlights

• Ermita de la Virgen de la Peña – cave chapel carved into the rock with a viewpoint.
• Plaza Virgen de la Peña – weekend events, flamenco performances.
• CAC Mijas – a surprisingly rich Picasso/Dalí collection.

Distance & driving time: ~9–10 km | 20 minutes.

Best time to visit: Late afternoon / sunset; in summer it's noticeably cooler than the coast.
