La Cala de Mijas · Mijas
In the village of La Cala, between the square and the sea.
Casa Pino is on Calle Cártama, a couple of minutes from the Church square and the La Cala seafront promenade. It is the kind of place that fills up with locals, with holidaymakers and with anyone who eats before heading down to the beach, where a tapa is ordered at the bar without needing to book.

Two minutes from the beach
La Cala has one of the best-known town beaches in Mijas. From the tavern you can walk down to the sand in a short stroll, with no slopes or steps on the way.

In the village, not on the beach strip
