Mijas Marigold

With a fantastic central location close to the heart of the ever-popular Cala de Mijas, this cosy and welcoming holiday apartment provides a great base from which to discover why this part of Andalusia remains one of Southern Spain's best-loved regions.

Start the day right in the light-filled spaces of the interior, brewing some fresh coffee and pouring yourself a glass of zesty juice to take out onto the beautifully furnished terrace – where, overlooking the lovely communal swimming pool, you can take your time over breakfast and decide what to do with the rest of your day.

Will it be hanging around the apartment, loafing on the terrace with a good book? Or will you take the short stroll over to the pool just in front of the terrace to catch some rays while catching up with the other resort residents? Perhaps you'll take a trip into town, exploring the picturesque cobbled laneways and the shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants which line them. Any and all of the above sound pretty good to us. The glamour of Marbella as well as other fantastic Andalusian cities are all also within easy reach of the home.

As evening rolls around, it's your choice as to whether to keep things low-key and dine out on the balcony, feasting on your favourite locally-sourced produce, or head into Cala de Mijas to see what evenings there hold in store.
