and is why many tourists flock there each year.

bars and restaurants, many of which are hidden within the winding
cobbled lanes that are a feature of this charming white washed
Andalucian village.

Mijas Pueblo are bountiful with owners looking to sell you some of
their local products which includes, pottery, paintings, leather
goods and other goods.
Mijas Pueblo is also home to the only "square" bullring in the whole
of Spain and can be found at the very top of the town close to the
beautiful church and the auditorium.
