A perfect summer evening — La Cala to Max Beach
Our favourite way to end a hot day. Drive down to La Cala de Mijas for around 8pm, leave the car by the park, and walk east along the Senda Litoral boardwalk as the sun drops — 30 to 40 easy minutes along the coastline. You arrive at Max Beach just in time for dinner at sunset, with live music and a proper beach-club atmosphere. Afterwards, a slow walk back along the coast to the car. A perfect evening in summer.

Simon's tip
Book the Max Beach table for about 45 minutes after you park — that leaves time for photo stops on the boardwalk.
