La Cala

B  We ent the day in La Cala de Mijas, starting with a trip to the Saturday market full of vendors selling just about everything you would expect--clothing, souvenirs, purses, belts, fruits and vegetables, nuts, olives, candy, and so on.   Then we headed off to the coast, just a short walk from the market and walked a long stretch of the boardwalk before eating lunch. There's a plan to have a boardwalk and/or sidewalk which stretches from Marbella to Nerja, a distance of almost 200km. It's about 3/4 complete as of 2015. 

La Cala was not as developed as Fuengerola and had nice beaches.  It lacked a town feel, more like a long strip of hotels, vacation rentals and restaurants toward the sea and retail facing the roads.  

Bother beautiful day in La Cala
