One of my favourite day trips from Malaga has to b One of my favourite day trips from Malaga has to be Mijas Pueblo 🏘️

This beautiful white village sits high up in the hills, offer a stunning view of the Costa del Sol below 🌞

All of the main attractions are within walking distance of one another, and there are plenty of picturesque whitewashed streets to enjoy 📸

Make sure you bring a good pair of walking shoes or boots though, like ours from naturalecoworld - there are a couple of hilly areas and some steps to climb! 👟🥾

Would you like to spend a day in Mijas Pueblo in the winter? 🇪🇸

If you’re planning a trip to the Costa del Sol this winter, there are plenty of beautiful beaches to take advantage of while the crowds are away 🏖️

One that I’d highly recommend is Cabopino, located near Marbella Old Town and just a 45 minute drive from Malaga Centro 🚘

Thanks @nomadix.ca for the beautiful water-resistant festival blankets! 🩱
