Overlooking the Mijas Golf course and with Tivoli World theme park 20 minutes away and both the aqua parks in Mijas and Torremolinos within just a ten-minute drive, Villa Alcucin is perfectly located for a fun-packed holiday for all ages!
Mijas comprises both the Mijas Pueblo on the mountain-side and Mijas Costa, a stretch of roughly 12km of picturesque beaches leading into verdant pine forests and striking hillsides of white houses. It includes La Cala de Mijas which is the main beach resort, the two smaller resorts of Riviera del Sol and Calahonda, the thriving city of Fuengirola, and finally Las Lagunas, the more industrial and most populated area of Mijas.
The area caters incredibly well to tourists, as it has been beautifully developed and redeveloped for nearly 60 years, whilst maintaining its traditional Andalusian charm. Growing organically from a quaint fishing village, it has undergone a fascinating transformation. Venture each Wednesday and Saturday to its popular market where you can find local produce including fruit and veg, crafts, clothes, ceramics and a whole lot more!
Meanwhile, nearby Marbella is a little bigger and busier, with a traditional and beautiful old town, and holds many Michelin starred restaurants and world-renowned beaches where one can soak up the sun and enjoy a cocktail at a beachfront bar! It has a very rich history, visible in the many ruins throughout the winding cobbled streets of its Old Town.
The region of Andalucía is culturally diverse and has a perfectly varied landscape, where picturesque beaches, ancient cities and desserts meet the incredible Sierra Nevada mountain range, which includes both the most southerly ski resort in Europe and the highest point of continental Europe!
