Sitio De Calahonda offers several ways to spend your stay: a coastal route, beach, nature watching and local history. For planning, it is worth choosing specific paths and places according to your interests; the coastal stretch and the stream walk offer different landscapes.

Coastal Route, Beach and Bus

The Senda Litoral Mijas is part of the Senda Litoral de Málaga project; its current section runs between La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda. Many sections of the route follow wooden boardwalks parallel to the Mediterranean. Infrastructure and the availability of a section may change; check the latest conditions before setting out.

Playa Calahonda - Riviera is easily accessible on foot, by car and by bus. As local access conditions may change, check the latest situation before your visit.

Bus route M-119 is a circular route with several stops within the urbanisation and connects Calahonda with Fuengirola and La Cala de Mijas. The route and stops may change; check the latest service before travelling.

Nature Trails and Parks

The Sendero Arroyo Los Álamos offers a one-kilometre walk upstream and alongside the stream. The path is suitable for watching birds and butterflies; sightings are seasonal and not guaranteed. Despite its location in a heavily urbanised area, Arroyo Los Álamos preserves an ecosystem with great biological diversity. Path conditions may change; check them before your walk.

Another nature trail leads from Parque Calahonda to Avenida de los Jardines. Information signs describe the local flora and fauna; the signage may be updated. Each route offers a different focus: the Senda Litoral runs parallel to the Mediterranean for many sections, the Sendero follows the stream, and the nature trail runs between its named endpoints, with information about flora and fauna.

Parque España has a children's playground, an outdoor exercise area and spacious areas for walking. Park facilities may change; check the current amenities before visiting.

Views, History and Golf

Ermita de Calahonda offers views of the Mediterranean. Torre de Calahonda was completed in 1575; the current Iglesia de San Miguel was consecrated on 25 May 2003. The dates mark a long span of time between the completion of the Torre and the consecration of the current church. The Ermita adds a sea view to these dateable landmarks.

Club de Golf La Siesta is a nine-hole, par-3 course in the heart of Sitio De Calahonda and was founded in 1989. If golf is part of your travel plans, check the current booking arrangements, as they may change.
