Mijas Festivals

The hot summer months are a wonderful time to stay in Costa del Sol villa rentals with VillaPlus.com and have fun celebrating the many fiestas Spain has to offer. Nearly every town and village will hold a festival of some kind which gets all the locals partying in the streets. Head towards some of the mountain villages and enjoy a balmy evening at a festival or concert, it will make a pleasant change from relaxing at your Costa del Sol villa and you’ll also get to know more about the locals particularly if you speak Spanish (Espanol ).

Mijas, a pretty Andalucian village located in the Sierra Mijas high up behind Fuengirola in Spain has its fair share of festivals. Surrounded by sloping hills, pine woods and valleys, this pretty Spanish village is visited by most people on a Costa del Sol villa holiday and is one of the well known examples of the pueblos blancos ‘white villages’ of the area, having beautiful views down to the coast and the Mediterranean. Mijas offers the visitor staying in Costa del Sol villa rentals many attractions within the town: craft and ceramic shops; whitewashed houses; churches and chapels and a variety of first class restaurants which can be found along the narrow cobbled streets, serving fresh fish dishes and typical Spanish tapas.

Festivals are popular in Spain and you must try and go along to one whilst staying in one of our Costa del Sol villa rentals. During July you will find wonderful traditional dancing by local and national dancers when the Flamenco Dance Festival is held in Mijas. Flamenco is the traditional song and dance of the flamencos (gypsies) of Andalusia in southern Spain and has developed over many centuries from Gypsy, Moorish, Andalusian and other roots. Flamenco music and dancing became popular in the early 19th century as entertainment in Cafés. The men perform the elaborate toe and heel clicking steps and the women’s dance is centred more on graceful body and hand movements. Accompanied by guitar playing; the clapping of hands and the snapping of fingers, will ensure you’ll be tapping your feet all the way back to your Costa del Sol villa rentals! Dance is a wonderful way of making friends in the Costa del Sol and in August you can join in the South American dance festival – a special Latin American night held in the village square, Mijas. As Craig Revel Horwood might say on ‘Strictly come Dancing – “Dazzle them all with your Cha, Cha, Cha”! In September pop along to the Town Hall where a festival dedicated to the tourist offers a taste of tradition with dancing and wine. Festivals are all about having fun and Mijas has plenty of that.

Choosing Costa del Sol villa rentals with Villa Plus is the ideal base from which to enjoy the perfect Spanish holiday and the festivals will keep everyone entertained.
