Public Transport-Bus and Train
Public transport is a good and cheap way of getting around. Public transport in Mijas is limited to the bus service but this will take you to Malaga, Marbella, Fuengirola or even just a few urbanizations further within Mijas Costa.
You can use public transport to Mijas upon your arrival from the Airport or train station of Malaga. But even once you have reached your destination, it is easy getting around with the bus service that is offered.
As with several other European countries, train services are modern, extensive and efficient, making travel by train to and from very quick & easy

Walking
Walking is possibly the best way to see the sites , it is free, and it allows you to take whichever route you want with as many stops as you please, allowing you to view only the things you really want to see and spend as long as you wish doing so.
Guidebooks are available at the Tourist Information Office but please note that these are not free
Kif tista' tmur minn post għall-ieħor
Bicycle
Another energetic and easy way to travel around is by bike, this is much faster than walking so you are likely to see more of the sights travelling on a bike. You can of course use your own bicycle but, if you do not have a bike in the city with you it is possible to rent a bike for a few hours, half a day or a full day (prices vary according to the hire company).

Taxis
There are numerous Taxi stands throughout Mijas ad yu can get a taxi directly from Malaga Airport these are though quite costly an average Taxi from and to the airport will cost around €50 each trip. However, if you are just needing this for a local trip this method of getting around can be faster. The initial rate is €1.30 for an evening then 0.75€ for each km in the day. Of an evening the charge goes up to €2 and then €1.10 per km

Car HIre
Car Hire is very popular in Spain and that said you can get some really good deals due to it being so competitive.
Manypeople hire directly from the Airport which makes dropping and picking up the car much easier . There are a number of car rentals in the terminal but my advice would be to book this in advance of your trip as in high season they can get booked up.

La Cala Market Days
The market is situated on the large carpark in La Cala de Mijas just opposite the Aldi. The market is open on Wednesday and Saturdays from 10:00 am till around 2:00pm. They have various stalls selling anything from traditional spanish goods, clothes, toys, pottery and much more. It is well worth an hour or so browsing through the stalls

Be careful of Pickpockets
Please beware of local Pickpockets and ensure that your wallet, purse etc are kept on your persons at all times. Unfortunately Pickpockets are rife in Spain and my asdvice would be to not hang around watching the local street entertainers for too long
