Considered the second most important museum of Pablo Picasso ceramics in the world - an incredible feat for this humble pueblo. The museum has a focus on Picasso, and also includes other changing exhibits of leading Spanish artists.

Sightseeing

This is the main plaza in Mijas. Beautifully updated in 2017, it is where people go to meet, stroll, shop, or sit and watch. Restaurants and shops are around the perimeter. Go on Wednesday at Noon to watch a free flamenco show at the gazebo. Enjoy playing in the street fountains during the heat of summer. Across the street from the Tourist Information Center and the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall). Events are held here throughout the year, during the day as well as in the evenings. During the summer, there are live events on Tuesday and Thursday nights. This is also where you will find the Donkey Taxis and Horse Carriage rides.

Parks & Nature

Beautiful botanical gardens perched on the edge of Mijas Pueblo with stunning views to the coast and the mountains. A wonderful place to stroll or just sit and enjoy the coolness of the shade and fountains.

Not really a "hiking" trail, but a paved road that leads to aerial antenna that broadcast signals across the coast. At nearly 1 km above sea level, the views are incredible. You may choose to walk the road (note that it's ALL uphill) to get views from multiple angles. You may also drive to the top. The road is narrow and winding - meant as an access road for service vehicles. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with vistas from the Sierra Nevada mountains north of Granada, to the North Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Africa, and all the way west to Gibraltar.
