At the breakfast table I enjoyed a great sunrise over the mountains surrounding Spanish Malaga. I like this port – it is tourist – friendly and offers nice views including cathedral and Gibralfaro fortress. Some 35 kms from Malaga there is nice township of Mijas famous of its beauty, donkey carts and colorful ceramic… Guys from the ship offers bus tour to Mojas for 70 euro. I decided to go there using local transport. I was already on the land when my phone was ringing. What a pleasant surprise! My old friend Sveta living here recognized from my travellog that I am here was ready to meet me and to be my guide to Mihas!. I met her later at railway station and we took a train to Fuengirola (3,5 euro one way) and then a bus 122 to Mijas (1,5 euro – 25 min in the nice landscape).
Mijas lies 400 m plus above sea and offers great panoramas, chapel cut in the rock, remains of castillo and hundreds white houses decorated with flowers and ceramic. Patient burros (donkeys) carts are waiting to drive you around for 15 eu (1 pax) or 20 euros (2 pax) There are also horse carts. You van visit also other old churches and small Plaza del Toros. Mijas – the white town offers great atmosphere. What a wonderful day!. Thank you Sveta and Oleg for beeing there with me! As you can see you can have an interesting excursion for just 10 USD!
