Mijas is a town and municipality in the province of Málaga, in Andalusia, southern Spain. It is a typically Andalusian white-washed village located at a mountain side about 400 m above mean sea level, in the heart of the Costa del Sol region. There are some local history museums and many souvenir shops, Mijas also has seven golf courses (four more are under construction). Like much of this coast, it continues to grow in urban development, although at a somewhat more low-key pace. In addition, there are several places to explore the countryside from horseback.

The municipality includes: Mijas Pueblo (the hillside village), Mijas Costa (main commercial and residential area adjacent to (but not strictly part of) Fuengirola), La Cala de Mijas (separate village and small resort by the sea to the west) and Las Lagunas (largely suburban and mixed commercial to the north of Fuengirola).
