Mijas Pueblo Village · Mijas, Costa del Sol Occidental, Málaga Settled since the Upper Palaeolithic, it was the Roman Suel before the Christian conquest of 1487 and the 1492 land distribution among fifty settlers. The historic centre, declared a historic-artistic complex in 1969, contrasts with the tourist growth of Mijas Costa: the municipality now has around 95,000 inhabitants, though Mijas Pueblo itself has just over 3,500.
