Property for Sale in La Cala de Mijas, Costa del Sol

La Cala de Mijas is a coastal village on the Mijas Costa, between Fuengirola and Marbella. It grew from a small fishing hamlet and still has a village feel, with a beach, a seafront promenade and a compact centre of shops and restaurants.

The setting is relaxed. The beach is long and sandy, hills rise behind the village, and a number of residential communities and golf areas sit around it. Because it is smaller and calmer than the larger resorts, La Cala is popular with families, retirees and anyone who wants a seaside village atmosphere.

Property for sale in La Cala de Mijas covers apartments close to the sand, townhouses in residential complexes and villas on the hills, and it attracts both permanent residents and holiday-home buyers.
