Self-catering holiday rentals in Mijas Costa for your home stay

Andalusia is one of Spain's most popular destinations, with its miles of beaches, beautiful scenery and fascinating historical sites. But sometimes the crowds can be a bit too much. One way of avoiding the crush is by renting a self-catering property in a white-washed hillside village like Mijas Costa. Nestled in the hills near Malaga, Mijas Costa is a gorgeous village, with shops, restaurants and gold courses. With Malaga on the doorstep, you have access to a thriving city, where you can visit the Moorish Alcazar or watch Malaga play in La Liga. Alternatively, the historical wonders of Granada are a short drive away. Wander around the stunning Alhambra Palace, with its intricate arches and ornamentation, and relax in one of Spain's most magical cities. Of course, Mijas Costa gives ready access to the Costa del Sol, and all of the water sports, beaches and night life you may need. It's a great place for a rental adventure.
