Mijas Pueblo Festival
You might see the ‚Parade of Giants and Cabezudos‘ (Bigheads) in the main streets of the town, you might see marching bands, even the queens of the fairs of Mijas, Las Lagunas and La Cala and their respective maids of honour. Great for kids too, with plenty of foods and activities to keep them happy, plus the children’s party in the Municipal Tent.
On the 8th of September – the day of Mijas‘ patron saint – and after the traditional floral offering to the Virgin, a Solemn Procession of the statue of the Virgin of the Peña takes place from the parish church to its sanctuary.
