Sights to Relax and Excite - How Mijas Covers the Entire Spectrum
/Life in Mijas has something to suit every mood and desire. Whether you’re here looking for sports and activities, or leisure and relaxation, you’ll find something the meet and exceed your expectations.
In this case, we’d like to provide a suggestion for that lives somewhere between highly active, and leisurely and relaxing: the evening paseo. To be sure, this falls much closer to the latter than the former!
A paseo is a stroll through town or the neigborhood. Family and friends take time in the cool of the evening to walk and talk. Conversations happen naturally as you cross paths with others.
One of our favourite paseo routes takes us through the heart of the pueblo, then back around the Muralla, the walls that marked the original boundaries of Mijas, and through the gardens behind the town parish church and the bullring. The views are spectacular, the air is fresh and inviting, and we can get some (admittedly, “easy”) exercise as well as opportunities to socialise with friends and acquaintances. We’ve taken the opportunity to introduce ourselves to others that we see regularly on our paseo, and appreciate the simple pleasures of being able to say hello (or hola!), and have a friendly conversation.
Integrating with our adopted community is part of the enjoyment of being in Mijas. If you’re here, why not take the time to engage in the evening paseo as well?
