Sierra de Mijas

The Sierra de Mijas is a rugged mountain range that rises behind the Costa del Sol, offering a natural escape from the coastal crowds. The area is a designated natural park, crisscrossed with hiking and mountain biking trails that lead through pine forests, rocky outcrops, and past ancient farmhouses. The highest peak, Pico Mijas (1,150 m), rewards hikers with sweeping views of the Mediterranean and the surrounding mountains. Along the trails, you'll encounter diverse flora, including wild olive trees and aromatic herbs. The park is also home to wildlife such as wild boar, foxes, and birds of prey. For a less strenuous experience, the Mirador de la Carretera viewpoint provides a stunning panorama accessible by car. The Sierra de Mijas is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts seeking tranquility and nature.
