A bell chimes from a small plaza as the group gathers by the bronze taxi-donkey statue — a playful emblem of Mijas’ past — and the guide unfurls a map. The first steps thread through narrow, cobbled alleys lined with whitewashed homes whose barred windows and overflowing flower pots open onto sudden views of the Mediterranean daring you to look. Over the next 90 minutes the village reveals itself in short scenes: a sunlit chapel, a compact bullring, and a botanical promenade where the sea presses the horizon.
