Doña Pilar: halfway between the village and the coast

Doña Pilar is a small residential area beside the road linking Mijas Pueblo with Fuengirola. Houses and residential developments dot the hillside, with views of the coast and the mountains behind.

What to see nearby

The historic centre of Mijas is just a few minutes away. Some places to stop:

• The Plaza de Toros de Mijas (bullring), one of the village’s best-known sights:
