The La Cala de Mijas Coastal Path was opened to great fanfare in October, 2014 and has attracted thousands of walkers and sightseers along the 6.1km route since its construction.
If you want to make the most of this scenic pathway (dogs also allowed on the path, but not in all restaurants) stop off between La Cala to Calahonda for breakfast, lunch or a coffee, at one of several seafront cafes. The El Oceano Beach Club offers excellent food, drinks and snacks with stunning sea views from the elevated terrace. Antonio’s Beach Bar also offers seafront views and a choice of excellent seafood & local fish dishes.
Up until the early 1990’s La Cala de Mijas was little more than a picturesque fishing village with whitewashed houses and narrow streets. La Cala has been cleverly transformed into a vibrant seaside town without losing any of its original charm. The ancient tower or ‘torre’ situated just behind La Cala’s main beach was one of the coast’s most important defences hundreds of years ago. Men within the tower were often the first to spot enemy ships approaching the coast.
Whatever time of year, a stroll along the Mijas coastal path offers panoramic views and a host of amazing places to eat and drink.
