Mijas municipality is one of the largest coastal municipalities in the Province of Malaga. Popular resorts along the coast like Mijas Costa, Calahonda, La Cala, Calaburras and Elviria belongs to the municipality of Mijas. Fuengirola and Mijas were one municipality earlier. Now the limit between the two municipalities is in the middle of Fuengirola, and the constant fuss between the two city's mayors give everyday life in the area a little spice. In reality, it is impossible to distinguish the two municipalities with the actual limits, because they have grown together. As a holiday resort Mijas Pueblo is a bit distant from the beach on the Costa del Sol for those who dream of sandy beach and the warm Mediterranean Sea, but it is not a problem if you rent a car. Golf tourists will find many fine golf courses near Mijas.
