Cabopino
Board walk. Bathing beach. Bar r * v.
Cabopino is best known for its marina, which despite its small exclusive size attracts many visitors. If you walk a few hundred meters along the extremely fine sandy beach, you can climb the boardwalk that leads you all the way to Fuengirola. On the way, you pass another of Cabopino’s landmarks – the small, sheltered nudist beach, which is well-visited by the Sun coast naturists.
Mijas Costa
Calahonda
10 golf courses within 10 km. A city of growth.
Calahonda is located halfway between Marbella and Fuengirola. The residential area of Sitio de Calahonda is the largest cluster of homes between Marbella and Fuengirola. Over the years, the area has grown so large that it almost qualifies as its own city, even though it technically belongs to Mijas. Calahonda is easy to get to, even if you live further up. City life extends far from the usual beach-based core of shops to well into Calahonda itself, where bars and restaurants lie side by side. It is the paradise of golf enthusiasts as one can reach 10 different golf courses within a radius of 10 km.
Riviera del Sol
Quaint. Sleeper. Model village.
Most of the towns on the route are best visited by car, but in the Riviera del Sol you can live comfortably without. It is a small town that is best suited for strolling and strolling the water’s edge with softened trouser legs. The area is well visited by families and you will also find here a dedicated children’s park, Princess Diana’s Park, with play areas and a pet zoo.
La Cala de Mijas
Trending area. Lots of fishing charm.
The fishing village that would be the metropolis. La Cala is clearly one of the areas that has experienced the most development in recent years. The town started as a handful of fishing huts in the 60s and today has 4,000 inhabitants. It has become a hot area where many want to establish themselves. However, you still get the authentic white-painted feel as you move around the streets of the city, which has managed to preserve its fishing charm. You will also find countless delicious restaurants here, where the award-winning and internationally acclaimed Little Geranium is just one of them.
El Faro
Coastal Marker. Rock Formations. crabbing
The brand of El Faro, the lighthouse, stands erect and beautiful off the coast and marks the start of the city. The romantic landmark can be seen from most of El Faro. The lighthouse sailor warns about what makes El Faro’s coastline so unique. The distinction between beach and water is broken by rock formations that form small basins. These basins are frequently visited by families of children who, with buckets and small nets, set out to catch crabs.
Fuengirola
Moorish city. World-class music.
Fuengirola is the last stop for Jacob but first stop for the C-1 coastline, which takes you along the rails to Malaga Airport and Malaga city center. First, when you come from Marbella, you are met by Castillo Sohail, the Moorish castle, which today is a concert venue that attracts world-class international names.
This was the first part of the ultimate walk along the Costa del Sol, which provides an insight into some of the areas covered by Mojo Estates. In the second part, Jacob takes the rest of the trip to the center of Málaga, where he must pass picturesque areas on a route that goes right in the hind legs.
