Gran Hotel Guadalpin Byblos

Mijas Costa del Sol, Spain

A city on hills painted in white, reminiscent of the foam of the Mediterranean Sea that is at the city’s shoreline, is truly an Andalucian marvel. A terrific "burro taxi" ride guided by a donkey is the best way to experience the sugar-cubed panorama. La Cala de Mijas is the crux of the city. It is the locale where many exciting events and places that one should definitely frequent such as: the annual week-long festival beginning the 25th of July, where an abundant supply of traditional sherry is accessible and Flamenco is danced with fiery ardency; el barratillo, a very popular street market , where splendid Spanish crafts and fresh vegetables are readily available; the Torre Vieja, an old 16th Century watchtower, that serves as splendid backdrop alongside a full moon especially during Noches de Luna y Playa, Nights of Moon and Beach, a seasonal celebration.
