Spain Travel Guide: 64,310 reviews and 130,675 photos

Come and be enchanted by the quaint alleys against white-washed cottages here in the pretty little village of Muslim origins - MIJAS, located about 30 minutes from Marbella, pictured above.

For your pre-trip planning, may I recommend the following websites for you to surf to? You'd love these sites, I'm sure.

In the novel of Cervantes Don Quichote fought against the windmills of La Mancha. If you drive to Ruta de Don Quichote/ Campo the Criptana, you'd discover lots more windmills! Surprisingly, you will also bump into a lot of Dutch people both in Consuegra and in Campo de Criptana. And you can't help but wonder why these people don't go to Kinderdijk in Holland instead. It sure is alot closer and it has even 17 windmills! Oh well, maybe the weather in Spain is so much better. After all, the "rain in Spain, stays mainly on the plains...?" :-))
