Detailed itinerary

1

It’s your time, your plan. Ride the cable car to the Top of the Rock for two-continent views and easy access to the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, dip into St. Michael’s Cave, trace history in the Great Siege Tunnels, or test your nerves on the Skywalk and the Windsor Suspension Bridge.

Prefer street vibes? Wander Main Street and Ocean Village, mix duty-free shopping with a relaxed lunch.

Keep an eye on the Barbary macaques—great for photos, not for sharing snacks.

All optional; tickets for Cable Car/Nature Reserve are not included and can be bought on site.

2

Switch gears to Mijas Pueblo, a white-washed hill town with flower-decked lanes and pretty plazas. Wander the cobbled streets, reach the Mirador de la Muralla for coast-to-mountain views, and peek at the oval bullring.

Browse artisan ceramics, leather and local sweets, or dip into tiny chapels and viewpoints.

Want it low-key? Grab a café con leche or gelato on a sunny terrace and watch village life drift by. Free time—do as much or as little as you like.
