Mijas Costa & El Faro, Mijas

Mijas Costa’s eastern strip runs along the headland marked by the El Faro lighthouse — the rocky promontory that splits the eastern Mijas coast from the longer urbanisation belt to the west. The property stock here is mostly low-rise, mostly older, and the headline rentals are sea-view apartments looking south or south-east toward the Mediterranean. Sea-view listings price well above interior units in the same complex. This is the more dramatic stretch of Mijas Costa, with cliffside terraces and direct beach access from many buildings.
