I was in Mijas Pueblo in May with my friends and I liked it so much that I'm going back for 10 days at the end of August with my husband. It was a girlie weekend in May we didn't really do much except enjoy the lovely restaurants and soak up the sun. This time we'd like to hire a car/bike and see about a wee bit. My hubby loves history and I like scenery as well as cities. Any one recommend some tours etc that we could do. We've never explored the Costa del Sol so it'll be all new to us.
Thanks

I would recommend Malaga - the hop on-hop off city tour bus; it's an excellent way to see the city. I never drive abroad (I like a glass of wine!) and I do believe there is a bus from Mijas to Malaga or, you could always get the train rather than driving; you can then sample the tapas bars without worry. The city tour bus is close to Malaga railway station. Gibraltar is worth a day - although I feel once you have seen it, you have been, so to speak - whereas Malaga you will want to go again and again. Hope you have a lovely time - Mijas is lovely.
Try this link: http://www.andalucia.com/province/malaga/ojen/home.htm click on the links on the places on the left hand side. Hope you find something to suit.
Sunnysusie, if we go to Malaga we will try the bus or train, because like you, we also enjoy a glass or two of wine & the rich Spanish reds are my favourite.
We'll hopefully hire a car or bike as well and check out some of the places colinandrew have mentioned. It sounds like there is plenty to see. Mind you I'll have to fit in a wee bit of chillin out at the pool too. Can't wait..
Thanks again.

I am sure you will have a really good time - I think the hop on hop off bus is a great idea; you can then decide whether to go back to the city for a longer period. I have done it in various places - Florence last year - only there for a day as we were at a wedding in Tuscany but it was lovely to have a taste of Florence. I have done various places abroad and even Edinburgh and Bath over here.
I'm not into noisy traffic and building work while on holiday.
Ardeles Lakes is the most beautiful place.
I have photos if you want a look PM me.
We stay in Mijas pueblo every year.
There are some lovely villages to visit
Monda is lovely
Ronda
Cordoba
And many many more..as already mentioned by other members
Benalmadena village although when we were there in June there was a lot of building going on, replacing the roads
We drive around and just stumble on the most lovely places.
Even after years ,we are still find new places.
