Renovations in Mijas

Mijas Pueblo is one of the most-visited white villages in Andalucía, and that imposes a very specific way of renovating. Narrow cobbled streets where not even a small lorry can fit, houses stepped into the hillside accessed by stairs, strict municipal rules on façades, colour, joinery and roof tiles, small properties the client wants to maximise to the last centimetre. Beyond the Pueblo, the municipality includes Las Lagunas (the administrative core and a dense residential district) and the strip of coastal developments (La Cala, Calahonda, Riviera del Sol, Miraflores), which we cover on separate pages. Here we focus on what sets Mijas Pueblo and Las Lagunas apart.

What we do in Mijas

Typical work by area:

• Restoration in Mijas Pueblo (traditional white houses) — structural reinforcement, full services replacement, preservation of protected features (exposed beams, whitewashed walls, timber joinery, wrought ironwork), respect for the council’s colour palette, reclaimed Arab tiles on the roof
• Maximising small properties — 50–80 m² floor-plan houses where every square metre counts: vertical use of space, bespoke compact stairs, complete but compact bathrooms and kitchens, integrated storage
• Apartment renovation in Las Lagunas — dense residential core with 1980s–90s flats: open-plan kitchens, walk-in shower bathrooms, porcelain floors, ducted air conditioning
• Holiday-let adaptation in Mijas Pueblo — small character properties converted for short-term lets, retaining personality and meeting VFT licence requirements
• Cosmetic renovations and upkeep on small properties — lime paint, joinery replacement keeping the style, minor roof repairs
• Building and renovating view terraces — many houses in the Pueblo have a top terrace with commanding views over the coast, a key value driver

For works in Mijas Pueblo we comply with the municipal protection rules (colour, materials, exterior elements) and work with a minor or major works licence as appropriate. For renovations in Las Lagunas, standard processing at Mijas town hall.
