Last week was a perfect
opportunity to visit the picturesque village of Mijas, Málaga.
The pueblo of Mijas, known as “The White City” is a perfect spaswinefood escape.
Wine Time in Mijas
In Mijas our first stop was the Mijas Wine Museum (Museo del Vino de Mijas). For a #winelover no visit to the province of Málaga, Spain is complete without checking out the wines.
Before visiting Mijas wine museum I had
read Spanish Wines description of Málaga’s
wine history. I had also discovered that Málaga and Sierras de
Málaga are the two Spanish Denominaciones de Origen
(DO) in the province of Málaga. Wine-Searcher notes that the Málaga DO was established in 1933
and the Sierras de Málaga DO in 2001.

The Mijas Wine
Museum is a perfect place to sample wines. It was a special treat to be introduced to some of the
wines from Málaga and Sierras de Málaga. In particular, it was especially exciting to taste wines
produced from the Moscatel and Pedro Ximénez grapes. Yes, we tasted
wines from other grape varietals and a few wines from other wine regions of
Spain. Tasting and learning about wines while in a wine region is always
special.

Mijas wine time is also just perfect for checking out the local tapas. You guessed it, wine tasting at the museum includes tapas.

Dining in Mijas
The pueblo of Mijas is the perfect place to sample tapas and more at the local eateries. Here are some of the inviting eateries in town.
One of our stops in Mijas included
the Aromas Café & Secret Garden. Yes, this restaurant is just perfect for tapas and wine.
The restaurant offers a variety of seating options, such as street side, inside and garden.
While at the Aromas Cafe we took time to relax in the garden.
If you drop by Aromas Cafe & Secret Garden do not forget to check out the secret garden.
Yes, Mijas is the perfect spaswinefood escape.

Time to Relax in Mijas
Without doubt the charm of Mijas is endless. Mijas is a perfect town for exploring on foot.
However, if you would like a ride you can take a burro taxi, or a horse and buggy ride.
