Shopping in La Cala de Mijas

Boutiques and shops in the village
In the centre of La Cala, around Calle Torremolinos and Calle Butiplaya, you find a mix of Spanish boutiques, fashion, souvenir shops and specialty stores. It is compact and walkable, perfect for a relaxed shopping stroll between the beach and a terrace.

The Wednesday market
The weekly highlight is the market on Wednesday morning, with more than a hundred stalls full of clothing, leather goods, ceramics, fresh produce and bargains. It is as much an outing as a shopping moment, and the most sociable way to stock up locally.
All the municipality's markets, with days and tips, are in our guide to markets in Mijas.
Supermarkets and international products
For daily groceries there are several supermarkets in and around the village, including a Mercadona on the edge and smaller shops in the centre. Thanks to the international community you also find British and Scandinavian products, handy if you miss something from home.
If you stay in an apartment with a kitchen, like at Coral Mijas Stay, you combine the supermarket with the fresh market for the best of both worlds.
