Old Node <!-- UrbanAndNaturalAreas isempty -->

The low houses on the light streets of the old town are decorated with artistic gates. This area of Mijas is striking and a number of details are worth photographing. The largest shops in the town and most popular souvenir boutiques are in Calle Charcones, Calle San Sebastián or Calle Málaga.

 Church of the Carmel <!-- ReligiousBuildings isempty -->

The only remains of a former convent, this church was built between the 16C and 17C. Its single nave is large and covered by an elegant Mudéjar artesonado ceiling. The church is well decorated inside with paintings and polychrome stuccos, and has preserved a fine 18C retable on the main altar by Antonio Primo, with in the centre a camarín decorated with paintings.
Los Mártires <!-- ReligiousBuildings isempty -->

Founded in the 15C this externally very sober church dazzles by its rich Baroque interior completely renovated in the 18C. The decor is most exuberant in the presbiterio and the transept. In the capilla mayor there is a retable and its recess containing statues of St Paul and St Cyriaque, patron saints of the town. An impressive shield crowns the collection. Near to the church, you will notice a typical Christ with Lanterns.

 Plaza de Toros <!-- HistoricStreetsAndDistricts isempty -->

This small bullring has an unusual rectangular shape. Houses the Museo taurino.

Malaga and the surrounding coastline of Southern Spain makes for a pretty good driving experience. I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of country having had a fairly stereotypical view of the area and of the resorts in particular. The weather is obviously pretty conducive to a great driving holiday - hire a convertible car for the full effect. Driving west out of Malaga brings you to several of the ubiquitous resorts which you can quickly skip past. Westwards and the sandy beaches give way to excellent coastal roads with steep cliff faces and a permanent Mediterranean view. Head inland as well towards Seville - Andalucia is a really stunning place and the towns dotted around have an interesting mix of Spanish Catholic and Moorish architecture. Puerta Benus is the place for showing off - if you're lucky enough to have hired some luxury car then drving down the waterfront amongst the yachts and assorted glitterati can be an experience. - Sam, St Helens
