Address: P.º de la Muralla, 29650 Mijas, Málaga

Jardines de la Muralla, perched high above Mijas Pueblo, is where whitewashed charm meets wild Mediterranean beauty. Set beside the Church of the Immaculate Conception and just steps from the old bullring, this hilltop park is built along the remains of the ancient city walls—hence the name. Expect cobbled paths, floral-lined trails, and sweeping views that stretch from the Sierra de Mijas to the sea.
The “Muralla route” winds through native gardens, fountains, and even a 15-meter illuminated waterfall that dances to music at night. Free-roaming peacocks and ducks add a quirky, unexpected twist. Whether you’re coming for the views or a peaceful wander after lunch in the village, this is Mijas at its most magical—rustic, romantic, and just the right amount of offbeat.
