Tour · 7 nights · with Just You
A seven-night escorted holiday with Just You that marks Christmas in the Andalucian foothills, from Malaga’s ancient streets to the whitewashed lanes of Mijas and a clifftop day in Ronda.
Highlights
The Moorish Alcazaba and cathedral in Malaga
Whitewashed streets and coastal views of Mijas
Hilltop village of FrigilianaWith cobbled streets
Narrow lanes and beaches in Nerja
Ronda’s El Tajo gorge and Puente Nuevo bridge
This small-group tour by Just You balances time to relax with outings layered with history and local character. After arriving in Malaga, the itinerary covers the city’s Moorish Alcazaba fortress and cathedral before moving on to Mijas, where the streets of whitewashed houses decorated with bougainvillea offer views towards the coast.
Christmas Day is left mostly free to spend as you please in Mijas, a town perched between beach and mountains that serves as a quiet base. Boxing Day features the hilltop village of Frigiliana, with its cobbled alleys and Moorish feel, and nearby Nerja where narrow streets and sandy beaches remain largely as they were decades ago.
A day trip to Ronda brings a dramatic change of scene, watching the 18th century Puente Nuevo bridge span a gorge over 600 feet deep. The final day offers the choice of an excursion to Gibraltar or further time in Mijas before returning to Malaga for the journey home.
