You are going for it this year when booking a HOLIDAY RENTALS IN SPAIN as you are moving out of your comfort zone by basing your trip in Mijas Pueblo or Mijas village. Not in one of the cosmopolitan cities full of sophistication but,Holiday Rentals in Spain to the Pueblo Mijas village for a lifestyle change Articles having said this, Mijas is considered to be the epitome of village life on the Costa del Sol. This little beauty is sequestered in the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas, some 450 metres about sea level giving it some of the most exciting views on the coast.

Mijas is quintessentially a traditional mountain village with Moorish influences giving it its Andalucian style. When you enter the village you will know immediately what is meant when you come faced with narrow, winding, cobblestoned streets not to leave out the whitewashed buildings lining those streets. During the peak season the place is inundated with visitors by the coach load from far and wide.

The best way to discover Mijas is on foot, allowing you to get up close and personal with not only the excellent architecture but its residents as well. While on your sojourn through the village there is one place of great importance the small bullring with its own history. The quadrangular base sets it apart from the rest of the bullrings. For starters, the base forms the oldest part of a bullring in Spain. Also there is the 17th century Virgen de la Pena sanctuary along with the la Concepcion sanctuary from the 16th century that is a must see.

If you would like to see some of the Roman ruins, take a leisurely walk along the old wall with its gardens leading to an open air auditorium where a number of events promoting culture have been staged. For something a little special take a ride on the donkey-pulled taxi while going around the town centre then venturing out into village outskirts.

Andalucia is also well known for its golf courses as well as their maintenance with Mijas being no exception. The beauty of a golf course lies in its construction which the designers can create but the countryside can only be created by Mother Nature and it is here that she worked her wonders. Of all the top rated courses in Europe, twelve of them are located here. There are courses suited to any level of play: not just championship courses but they are beautiful and fun to play on, even badly.

When booking your HOLIDAY RENTALS IN SPAIN, did you know there were a number of small districts around Mijas to choose from? The subdivisions in the immediate area include such as Las Lagunas, La Cala and Sitio de Calahonda along with Riviera del Sol. For the most part these are seaside villages with pristine soft sand and crystal clear waters lapping the shoreline. The beaches have become, in recent history, a big draw for the tourist market.
