• Puerto Banus - Mijas & Modern Masterpieces

  Description

  Explore the captivating charm of Spanish country life as you venture beyond Puerto Banus' bustling port. Meander through the quaint, cobbled lanes of this picturesque village and be captivated by its allure, offering artists a haven with breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Mediterranean Sea.

It was built near the castle in 1900 due to high demand from the people of the area. However, because of the irregular shape and lie of the land where it was to be situated, it meant that they had to build an oval shape rather than the usual circle - making it unique in Spain.
  
  Next on the itinerary is the Contemporary Art Center of Mijas, a venue boasting a prestigious connection with iconic cities like Paris, New York, Madrid, Barcelona, and Málaga. Located in the heart of Mijas village, this art museum proudly exhibits the works of Pablo Picasso.
