The three key points of the excursions

Marbella’s old town

The Plaza de los Naranjos is the heart of the old town, with its 16th-century Town Hall and the whitewashed streets leading off from it. Nearby are the remains of the Moorish wall and the Church of La Encarnación.

Puerto Banús

The best-known marina on the Costa del Sol, with moorings for large boats and a shopping area featuring international brands. It stands in stark contrast to the old town.

Mijas Village

At an altitude of 428 metres on the hillside of the mountain range, with steep streets, whitewashed houses and viewpoints overlooking the entire Costa del Sol. The tour includes a visit to the CAC Mijas museum, with a glass of muscatel wine.

Frequently asked questions

What do you see on the day trip to Marbella and Mijas?

Three different places in a single day: Marbella’s old town with the Plaza de los Naranjos, Puerto Banús with its marina, and Mijas Pueblo, a white village in the mountains at an altitude of 428 metres, with views across the entire Costa del Sol.

How long does the trip to Marbella and Mijas last?

Between six and eight hours, including travel time. Marbella is an hour and a quarter from Málaga city centre and Mijas is three-quarters of an hour from there, so it’s one of the shortest trips in the catalogue.

Does it include admission to any monuments?

The day’s programme includes a visit to the CAC Mijas museum, accompanied by a glass of Muscat wine. The rest of the tour takes place outdoors: the old town of Marbella, Puerto Banús and the streets of Mijas Pueblo are explored on foot, with no admission fees.

Is there any free time to have lunch or go shopping?

Yes. The itinerary allows for some free time in Marbella and Puerto Banús, where there are restaurants and shops. The same applies to Mijas Pueblo, although the village is small and can be explored in just over an hour.

Is it an easy walk?

Marbella and Puerto Banús are on flat ground. Mijas Pueblo, on the other hand, is set in the mountains and has steep, cobbled streets, so comfortable footwear is advisable. It doesn’t require any particular effort, but you will be walking uphill.

How to get to Marbella and Mijas with us

Marbella is an hour and a quarter from Málaga city centre, and Mijas Pueblo is three-quarters of an hour away. We pick up passengers in the capital and at hotels along the western coast.

If you’re staying in Marbella or Fuengirola, you’re on your way, so your pick-up is one of the last on the route and you get more out of the day than if you were setting off from Málaga.

What you’ll see in Marbella, Puerto Banús and Mijas on the excursions

The three stops on the excursion are all very different from one another, and it’s worth bearing this in mind when making your choice: Marbella is an Andalusian old town with squares lined with orange trees, whilst Puerto Banús is a marina and commercial port.

Mijas Pueblo is quite unlike anything else: A white village in the mountains, at an altitude of 428 metres, with steep streets and views stretching across the Costa del Sol.
