You step out of the vehicle onto a lane of whitewashed houses; the Mediterranean wind tugs at a loose ribbon above a balcony and the bell of a small church marks the hour. Mijas Pueblo perches on a low range of hills above the coast, where narrow streets slope toward viewpoints that look south to the sea and west to olive-studded ridges.
