Need a Car?

Exploring Andalusia is even better with the freedom of your own wheels. Whether you’re planning day trips to charming hilltop villages or just want to cruise the coast at your own pace, renting a car is easy and affordable.

You can book with trusted local providers like malagacar.com or mirafloresautorent.com, or choose any international rental service.

If you’re up for a little adventure without driving, Bolt and Uber are always a reliable choice — easy to catch from anywhere by using mobile apps right on your phone.

Right outside Miraflores urbanization, and on the way to the sea, you’ll also find two bus stops (Google maps):

– M-220 → between Marbella, La Cala de Mijas, Riviera and Fuengirola, runs frequently.
– M-119 → connects Calahonda, La Cala de Mijas, and Fuengirola, and the Miramar shopping center, but runs less frequently.

During high season, buses run multiple times a day, from early morning until late night. The journey is scenic and convenient, and the bus makes stops near beaches, shops, and restaurants. Tickets are inexpensive and can be purchased directly from the driver in cash, so have some coins or small bills handy.

Whant go even further?

At the final stop in Fuengirola, you’ll find the Cercanías train station, line C1, just nearby. From there, trains run to Málaga city, airport, and beyond — perfect for day trips or airport transfers. You can buy train tickets at the station at special self-service machines — available in several languages and easy to use.

Few tips

  • Pay your attention that schedules vary between weekdays and weekends, and also by season.
  • Want real-time info? Use Google Maps, enter your destination, and tap the bus / train icon for up-to-date departures and directions.
  • But hey, this is Spain – and the pace is… relaxed. Sometimes the bus might not show up at all.
  • That’s why a rental car is the most reliable way to explore.
  • Or just embrace the local rhythm: grab a drink at the nearest bar and wait for the next bus. You’re on Costa del Sol where time flies differently.

You’re staying in the seaside Miraflores residential area – part of the Mijas Costa municipality – perfectly positioned between the charming seaside town of La Cala de Mijas and lively Calahonda, with Fuengirola just a short ride away.

If you’re looking for more than just poolside lounging and beach days, here are a few places we recommend exploring:

La Cala de Mijas

(~4,000 residents)

– 8 km / ~10 min by car

Once a tiny fishing village, it has grown into a lively yet peaceful destination – flat and walkable, ideal for families and those seeking a slower pace. Unlike the white hilltop villages of inland Andalusia, La Cala stretches right along the coast, offering easy beach access, a lively open-air market every Wednesday and Saturday, and plenty of chiringuitos – relaxed beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and cold drinks right on the sand. It’s also the starting point of the scenic Senda Litoral boardwalk, making it a perfect blend of coastal beauty and small-town soul.

La Cala de Mijas enjoys over 300 sunny days a year, making it a year-round destination. Summers are hot but breezy, with temperatures reaching 28–32°C. Winters are mild, often sunny, with daytime temperatures around 15–20°C — perfect for coastal walks or terrace coffees.

Fuengirola Biopark

7 km / ~12 min by car

While in Fuengirola, make sure to visit Castillo Sohail – a restored 10th-century Moorish fortress perched above the sea. It’s not only a historic landmark with panoramic views, but also a vibrant cultural spot that hosts open-air concerts and festivals during the summer season on its scenic outdoor stage.

It also offers 7 km of sandy beaches, a scenic promenade, and plenty of restaurants, shops, and nightlife.

The town’s most popular landmark is undoubtedly Bioparc Fuengirola. A compact, shaded zoo designed like a lush jungle — perfect for hot days. Great for both kids and adults. Don’t miss the animal feeding times, where you can watch how different species eat and interact up close — a favorite moment for little (and not-so-little) visitors.

Fuengirola shares the sunny Costa del Sol climate — hot summers around 30–34°C and mild winters averaging 16–20°C.

Benalmádena

(~70,000 residents)

13 km / ~20 min by car

It is a vibrant seaside town known for its stunning marina, where Moorish and Gaudí-inspired architecture meets the sea — domed, whitewashed buildings that look like floating palaces. It’s a perfect spot for a sunset stroll, dinner, or shopping.

Other highlights include the hilltop Benalmádena Pueblo, the cable car with bird shows and panoramic views, the Butterfly Park, and Selwo Marina with dolphins, penguins, and aquatic life. Just a bit further from the shore, the town transforms into a bustling urban hub — with high-rise buildings, nightlife, family attractions, and nonstop energy.

In Benalmádena, you’ll find the whimsical Castillo de Colomares – a monument that looks part castle, part ship. Built in the late 1980s to honor Christopher Columbus, it features dramatic towers, a stone ship’s prow, and a mix of Moorish and Gothic styles. It’s one of the most unique landmarks on the coast – and even holds the record for the world’s smallest church.

Benalmádena enjoys a sunny Mediterranean climate with hot summers reaching 30–34°C and mild winters around 15–18°C.

Mijas Pueblo

(~8,000 residents)

15 km / ~25 min by car

It is one of Andalusia’s most charming whitewashed villages, nestled in the hills just above the coast. This postcard-perfect town offers cobbled streets, artisan shops, tiny chapels carved into the rock, and breathtaking views over the Mediterranean.

Famous for its donkey taxis (burro-taxis) — a tradition that began in the 1960s when workers riding donkeys home from the fields started giving spontaneous rides to curious tourists. Today, they remain a quirky symbol of the village (though now carefully regulated).

Steeped in history, Mijas Pueblo blends Moorish roots with classic Andalusian charm. You’ll find small museums, a bullring with panoramic views, blooming balconies, and cozy tapas bars hidden behind every turn.

Marbella

(~150,000 residents)

30 km / ~30 min by car

Founded by the Romans and later shaped by Moorish rule. Its glamour, beaches, and nightlife are balanced by cultural gems like the Church of the Encarnación — built on the site of a former mosque with a distinctive bell tower and ornate Rococo door — and the iconic Plaza de los Naranjos, surrounded by orange trees and 15th-century buildings. Don’t miss Casco Antiguo (historical center) with its blue flower pots, and stroll past the remnants of the Muralla Urbana de Marbella for a glimpse into its layered past.

Along the shoreline, a seemingly endless row of seafood restaurants and chiringuitos serve up the freshest grilled sardines, octopus, and Andalusian-style shellfish – perfect with a chilled glass of local wine.

Beyond the beach, Puerto Banús gleams with luxury yachts and fashion boutiques, but venture just a little deeper and you’ll find hidden courtyards, artisan shops, and tapas bars that locals love.

Summers in Marbella are hot but tempered by sea breezes (typically 28–32°C), while winters are mild (12–18°C).

Puerto Banús

30 km / ~30 min by car

Welcome to the glitz and glam of the Costa del Sol. Puerto Banús is Marbella’s most luxurious marina, where gleaming yachts, designer boutiques, and sports cars line the palm-fringed promenade.

Built in the 1970s as a playground for the international elite, it remains a hotspot for celebrity sightings, sunset cocktails, and upscale shopping. Whether you’re strolling past Dior and Louis Vuitton, enjoying fresh seafood by the waterfront, or simply people-watching with a glass of cava in hand – this is the place to soak in the high life, even if just for a day.

Caminito del Rey (hiking site)

55 km / ~1 hr by car

A spectacular cliffside hike through a canyon – thrilling and safe. In 1921, King Alfonso XIII officially opened this feat of engineering, taking the walkway to the Conde de Guadalhorce dam, and since then it has been known as “the King’s little walk” – Caminito del Rey.

The Caminito del Rey was once the world’s most dangerous path, but it is not anymore. This is because there is now a new path, which actually sits above the old and dangerous path. The only risk there is small rocks falling, but that is why people are required to wear helmets.

  • Opt for proper hiking shoes, a hat, and don’t forget sunscreen – the sun up there shows no mercy, even on cloudy days.
  • Book tickets in advance.
  • Temperatures along Caminito del Rey can rise above 35°C in summer, making spring and autumn the best seasons for a cooler, more comfortable hike.

Ronda

(~33,000 residents)

78 km / ~1 hr 20 min by car

A dramatic town on the edge of a gorge, he historic Moorish Baths, home to Spain’s oldest bullring and a legendary stone bridge.

It is one of the towns and villages that are included in the Sierra de las Nieves National Park.

Ronda is one of the oldest towns in Spain. Archaeological discoveries made in the old town centre indicate that it dates back to the Neolithic period.

Ronda has a more continental climate than the coast, with hot, dry summers (25–32°C) and crisp winters — making spring and autumn perfect for exploring.

Nerja

(~22,000 residents)

85 km / ~1 hr 5 min by car

The town is famous for its beautiful beaches and its pretty city center with a viewpoint called Balcón de Europa. Also hiking trails, and the famous Nerja Caves (stalactites and stalagmites). Perfect for nature and photography lovers. The most famous beach in Nerja is Burriana Beach, which is a long, sandy beach with clear waters.

Nerja enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate year-round, with warm summers (28–32°C) and gentle sea breezes that make the heat more bearable than in inland cities.

Gibraltar

(~33,000 residents)

106 km / ~1 hr 30 min by car

A tiny piece of Britain at Spain’s southern edge, Gibraltar is full of contrasts – red phone booths, English pubs, and British flags waving under Mediterranean sun. This small peninsula has a rich military history and a unique status as a British overseas territory, giving it both strategic importance and a quirky charm.

One of its biggest draws? It’s a duty-free zone, meaning you can shop for perfumes, alcohol, tobacco, and electronics at lower prices – just check your country’s limits before stocking up.

Climb the iconic Rock for panoramic views and meet the famous Barbary macaques, Europe’s only wild monkeys. Explore WWII tunnels or the dramatic St. Michael’s Cave – and don’t forget your passport.

Granada

(~230,000 residents)

124 km / ~1 hr 30 min by car

A city where Moorish history and Spanish spirit meet. It’s known for grand examples of medieval architecture dating to the Moorish occupation. You must visit the astonishing Alhambra, a majestic hilltop stronghold consisting of ornately decorated palaces (Palacios Nazaríes), robust fortifications (the Alcazaba) and graceful gardens (the Generalife).

It is also well-known for flamenco shows, and as being the burial place of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Known as the Catholic Monarchs, they famously completed the Reconquista in 1492, reclaiming Spain from centuries of Moorish rule. Their legacy shaped modern Spain – and their grand marble tombs now attract visitors from around the world.

The Paseo de los Tristes in Granada is one of the most beautiful streets in the world. 

Granada has hot, dry summers with temperatures often reaching 35–40°C — making spring and autumn the best times to visit.

Malaga

(~600,000 residents)

40 km / ~40 min by car

Elegant, artistic, and deeply historic, Málaga is not just another seaside city – it’s one of Spain’s oldest and most culturally rich metropolises, continuously inhabited for over 2,800 years. Once a key Phoenician port, it later became the first industrialized city in Spain, leaving behind a layered architectural and cultural heritage.

Today, Málaga blends vibrant modern life with centuries of history. Explore the Roman amphitheater, the stunning Moorish Alcazaba fortress on Mount Gibralfaro, and stroll through a maze of palmed parks, tropical gardens, and wide boulevards filled with public art.

It’s also the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, and home to over 30 museums: from the Picasso Museum, classic cars museum to the contemporary art museum – Pompidou Centre. The city boasts a warm Mediterranean climate all year round, and its historic center hums with life – rooftop bars, Andalusian taverns, and the iconic El Pimpi restaurant, co-owned and often visited by local legend Antonio Banderas.

Universo Imagine at Auditorio Sharlín in Málaga is an immersive experience combining music, lights, and visual storytelling – perfect for families, dreamers, and anyone looking for something truly different from the usual tourist agenda. A magical break from the sun and a journey into imagination.

Looking for adrenaline with a view? Sunview Park offers twin high-speed zip lines – among the longest in Andalusia – racing over valleys with epic views. For a slower pace, try horseback riding, archery, or simply unwind at the hilltop terrace bar, where panoramic sights stretch all the way to the sea. A perfect combo of thrill and chill, just outside Malaga.

Looking for a fun break with kids? Jungle Family is a tropical-themed indoor adventure park designed for little explorers – with climbing zones, slides, ball pits, and jungle-style fun. It opens in the late afternoon, just as the sun starts to cool down – perfect timing for families looking to escape the midday heat. While kids play safely, parents can unwind in the café area nearby.

Summers in Malaga are hot but tempered by sea breezes — daytime highs average 30–33°C in July and August, making it perfect for beach days. Spring and autumn are ideal for city exploring.

Seville

(~700,000 residents)

200 km / ~2 hr 30 min by car

The capital of Andalusia and Spain’s fourth-largest city, Seville boasts a 4 km² old town with a UNESCO-listed trio: the Alcázar, Cathedral, and General Archive of the Indies (displaying documents on the Spanish Empire). It’s also home to Spain’s only river port and famous for its scorching summer heat.

The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See is one of the largest churches in the world as well as the largest Gothic cathedral. Flamenco, palaces, oranges, and cathedrals – Seville is the soulful heart of Andalusia.

Don’t miss Setas de Sevilla – the world’s largest wooden structure, offering panoramic views, art exhibitions, and a striking contrast to the city’s ancient charm.

Want some adrenaline? Isla Mágica in Seville delivers just that – a theme park built on a former Expo ’92 site, packed with roller coasters, water rides, pirate shows, and splash zones. Perfect for a full day of family fun.

Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla is one of the oldest and most iconic bullrings in Spain, rich in tradition and Andalusian architecture. Even if you’re not into bullfighting, its museum and guided tours offer a deep dive into Spanish cultural heritage.

We recommend staying at least one night to fully experience the charm of this beautiful town.

Seville is one of the hottest cities in Europe, with summer temps often over 40°C – best explored in spring or autumn.

The Rhythm of Flamenco

Andalusia is the birthplace of flamenco – a powerful mix of music, dance, and emotion.

Step into the Arena

For those curious about Spain’s most controversial tradition, bullfighting arenas (plazas de toros) are still active across Andalusia.

  • Malaga La Malagueta is one of the region’s main bullrings, especially lively during the August fair.
  • Ronda’s historic arena – among the oldest in Spain – offers guided tours and a museum, even if no fights are scheduled.
  • Seville’s Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza combines architectural beauty with deep cultural roots. Even if you skip the events, the history inside these arenas is worth the visit.

Active Adventures in Andalusia

For outdoor lovers, Andalusia is a dream.

  • Hike the dramatic Caminito del Rey, wade through Rio Chillar’s playful riverbed, or explore the otherworldly rock formations of El Torcal de Antequera.
  • Prefer wheels? The region is dotted with scenic cycling routes, and the coast is a haven for paddleboarding, kayaking, surfing, or even kitesurfing in Tarifa. Golfers will feel at home on the Costa del Golf in Fuengirola, with more than 70 courses to choose from.
  • Looking for a full day of splash and fun? Bahía Park in Algeciras (~79 km) is one of the biggest water parks in the region – with slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and play zones for all ages.

For Peace Seekers

If you’re looking to slow down, Andalusia offers tranquil escapes too.

Relax in traditional Arabian hammams (like Hammam Al Ándalus in Málaga, Granada, or Seville).

Stroll through peaceful gardens like La Concepción Botanical Garden in Malaga.

You’ll find plenty of shady plazas and orange-tree-filled parks for quiet reflection. In spring, the air fills with the intoxicating scent of orange and lemon blossoms, which typically bloom between February and April, transforming towns and courtyards into fragrant havens.

In late spring, jacaranda trees bloom in soft purple hues, turning streets into dreamy, flower-carpeted paths that feel straight out of a painting.

In late winter and early spring, the delicate, golden puffballs of Acacia burst into bloom, filling the air with their sweet scent and painting the hillsides in sunshine.

Cultural Flavors & Local Craft

Dive into Andalusia’s rich heritage: visit ceramic and tile workshops in Córdoba or Granada, or enjoy olive oil and wine tastings in local vineyards.

Explore whitewashed villages (pueblos blancos) like Frigiliana (~79 km), Zahara de la Sierra (~148 km), or Vejer de la Frontera (~117 km), each telling its own story through winding alleys and local artisan shops.

What makes this place truly special? The little stories.

Like Santiago the rooster – or Kevin, depending on who you ask. He proudly crows from a hilltop every morning at 7 AM. And sometimes, he even takes a sunset stroll to Bite Kitchen – the local British-style spot known for its legendary fish & chips.

Then there’s Manolo at Monte B Pool Bar, a retired local who still greets guests with a warm smile and serves up his famous paella.

If you’re lucky, you might spot a family of wild boars on their evening quest for dinner — maybe not as refined as rooster Santiago, who’s more into fish & chips.
