Mijas municipal district is comprised of three very different areas and the Mijas properties for sale reflect those differences beautifully. Mijas Pueblo (the village), Mijas Costa (the coastal strip) and Las Lagunas (a modern residential and commercial area) have a lot to offer. There are also three small rural outlying districts called Entrerríos, Osunillas and Valtocado La Cala de Mijas is the central point of Mijas Costa and although it has grown and been built up, especially over the last decade or so, it still maintains something of its Andalucian seaside village atmosphere. From being a tiny fishing village originally, its population has increased to 10,000 – many of whom are British expatriates. There are schools, a health centre, a public library, a post office, shops and a cultural centre, as well as many excellent bars and restaurants, making investing in the Mijas real estate an excellent idea.
