Sitio de Calahonda is often called the English village and is the place for karaoke, second hand shops, British doctors and dentists, Indian restaurants, imported foods and, a good choice of pubs.
The nearby Riviera del Sol is also popular with foreigners, particularly the large commercial centre with its bar, telephone booths and grocery store combined.

The beaches at La Cala have been awarded the EU "Blue Flag" being amongst the best along the Andalucian coast, and are geared to provide action - jet skiing, water skiing and parasailing. Check out the beach bars here too, where you can enjoy Spanish seafood with the favourite holiday drink, tinto de verano - red wine with carbonated water.
The area has many pretty coves and beaches with housing complexes behind. Most of the complexes are carefully designed to reflect a Spanish influence, and the area has become home to some of the coast's best golf courses.
Mijas, perched on the hillside, is a fine example of a "white village". It still has much of its original charm with its little whitewashed houses and quaint traditions, one of the most unusual being the donkey-taxis lining the central plaza.
This is a typical Andalucian village, with spectacular views of the coast and wooded mountains around the village. The village is a web of narrow cobbled streets complete with terraces that overflow with geraniums, red tile roofs and archways. The village dates back to distant times and still has two Moorish churches and the sanctuary of the patron saint of the town, dating from the year 850. It also has one of the country's few oval bullrings. The old road to Benalmadena, with trees and little chalets, is a continuous balcony overlooking the sea. Higher up the town the streets become steps and the higher you climb the quieter it becomes.
