As you can see, it makes a pretty dramatic visual statement in white, just like a Cubist painting. One weird thing about staying in Mijas is that Spain was the first European country I had visited, with my high school Spanish class. We went for a week, and visited Madrid, Granada and...Mijas! We really just went to Mijas because we had a half day to kill along the way, and the train stopped close to the town. But it seems weird that of the thousands of towns to see in Spain, I'd be in Mijas twice.
