Why go to Mijas and Marbella on the Costa del Sol - An unforgettable day in Mijas and Marbella
Mijas and Marbella are true jewels of the Costa del Sol, perfect for those looking for a mixture of history, beauty and charm.
In Mijas, the old town captivated me with its narrow, cobbled streets, white houses adorned with flowers, and breathtaking sea views from every corner. You could not miss a visit to the Bullring and the Hermitage of the Virgin of the Rock, which have a magical air.
Marbella, meanwhile, combines the best of modernity and tradition. Its old town is simply charming, with Plaza de los Naranjos as the heart of this maze of streets lined with boutiques, cafes and historic architecture. At every turn, you feel the cultural and historical richness that surrounds the city.
Both locations offer a unique experience for those who value architectural beauty and natural landscapes. Highly recommended for any traveler looking to explore authentic Andalucia!

Excellent - A top experience. We were family and had a great time. Alvaro did a great job. 100% recommended. The sunshine coast is beautiful, but also they took us to see the most beautiful places in such a short time, gave us time to see everything. Also a great excursion for couples, friends and a team building day!

The wonderful malaga and its charms - If you want to enjoy a full and varied experience on the Costa del Sol, this day trip is an excellent option.
The tour begins in Benalmadena, a destination that combines nature, history and breathtaking views. One of the most outstanding stops is Colomares Castle, a unique monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus. The castle is fascinating, with its neo-Mudejar architecture evoking a fairy tale, and the views from there are spectacular.
From Benalmadena, we head to Mijas, one of the most charming villages on the Costa del Sol. This picturesque white village, located on the mountainside, is a perfect place to get lost among its narrow, cobbled alleys. The panoramic view from the viewpoint is spectacular.
The next stop was Puerto Banus, where the contrast is absolute. This port is known for its luxury and glamour, with stunning yachts, high-end brand boutiques and top-class restaurants.
Finally, the tour culminates in Marbella, one of the most famous cities on the Costa del Sol. Marbella offers a unique blend of history and modernity, with its old town full of cobblestone streets and flower-filled squares.
The tour was well organized, with enough time to explore each place and take photos. The guide was excellent, providing interesting information about each destination, and the pace of the trip was perfect to make the most of each stop.
I would repeat without hesitation!

Very good and recommended - This trip has delighted both my children and me, it is fantastic to do it as a couple or with friends. The pickup has been punctual, Antonia, our guide, from the beginning welcoming, very friendly and effective. First we went to the castle, it was amazing I didn't expect it so beautiful. Then to the stupa, spectacular views of all benalmadena and the stupa very cool! And then mijas and marbella, where we also had enough free time to discover and visit the place:) we had a great time. 100% recommended.
