MIJAS NEWS

Grupo Inversor Hesperia has acquired the five-star La Zambra from Intriva Capital, adding 197 rooms to its portfolio. The deal follows a record year for the buyer, which posted a net profit of €38 million in 2025.

Residents of Calanova Golf urbanisation escalated a four-year battle against a nearby recycling plant, citing five fires, 80-decibel morning noise and health impacts from dust. Their demand: relocation.

Mijas installed a UV-index sundial on El Bombo beach, using a one-metre shadow to measure radiation levels provided by Spain's meteorological agency. The Soludable project: now with hardware.

Mijas is awarding contracts for six new car parks totalling 2,450 spaces, alongside a €5.7M public-space repair programme running through 2030. The holiday paradise: paved.

Mijas town hall is piloting drone-cleaning for hard-to-reach municipal surfaces, with a water-filtered UAV now scrubbing the panoramic elevator and town hall facade. The safety measures: a flight permit, a perimeter and a lifeline.

A power cut left 300 residents without electricity for 14 hours after a low-voltage grid overload, with Endesa's new transformer still three weeks away. The compensation: pending.

The Carromato de Mijas, a museum in a yellow wagon, houses microscopic portraits, fleas dressed in clothes, and a shrunken head traded from a Bantu tribe. Entry: €3.

A 500-square-metre 'gastronomic destination' with a 65-seat tasting bar opens in Mijas: the Club del Gourmet's selection includes 'bean-to-bar' chocolates and a wine cellar heavy on Andalusian producers.

Residents took to the streets after another night without electricity: no fans, no air conditioning, and spoiled food in 30°C heat.

The town hall has commissioned designs for two multi-storey car parks, adding 650 spaces near a school and in Mijas Pueblo. Four more projects will bring the total to 2,450 spaces.
