The Municipality, one of the largest in the Province of Málaga, with 147 km² is divided into three different urban areas: Mijas Pueblo, conserving the charm of a traditional Andalucian "white village", Las Lagunas on the coast (the most modern area of Mijas where you can find industrial and commercial areas), and La Cala, a small but rapidly expanding seaside village in the centre of the 12 kilometres of beaches on the Mijas coast.
