Vive Mijas

Buenos días Travelers!!


Tuesday Sept 22, we finally got off our you know whats, and hopped in the Audi and went a short ways up the mountain to the actual village of Mijas.






Here is how you get around, signs says Mijas Taxi.



Everyone get on!!!



First stop is a small shrine found in 1586. According to legend, the image of the Virgin was hidden during five centuries here and was found by a builder, the father of two shepherd boys who were led to the hiding place by a dove. It is very small.



Back side...




Next we did a little shopping. These olive dishes are gorgeous,and so are these planters, pick yours.







There is also an oval bullring here but we couldn't get inside. The views up here are amazing.




Adiós!
