Málaga Airport to Mijas
Mijas means two destinations: the beach resorts of Mijas Costa (~20 minutes from AGP) and the hilltop white village of Mijas Pueblo (~35 minutes). Neither has a train station, so road transport does the work.
How to get there
| Option | Price (2026) | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxi | Roughly €30–45 | 20–35 min | Metered — no official fixed fares; less to Mijas Costa, more to the pueblo |
| Private transfer | Quoted per vehicle | 20–35 min | Fixed price agreed when booking; specify Costa or Pueblo |
| Bus via Fuengirola | A few euros | 60+ min | C1 train to Fuengirola then local bus — slow; only for light packers |
Which should you pick?
- Private transfer is the sweet spot for Mijas — a fixed per-vehicle quote removes the meter anxiety on the hill road, and it is door-to-door.
- Taxi works fine for Mijas Costa, a straightforward run up the motorway.
- Bus via Fuengirola only if budget beats convenience and you travel light.
FAQs
How do I get from Málaga Airport to Mijas?
There is no direct train to Mijas. The simplest options are a metered taxi (roughly €30–45, 20–35 minutes depending on which part of Mijas) or a pre-booked private transfer with a fixed quote. Buses connect via Fuengirola but take considerably longer.
What is the difference between Mijas Costa and Mijas Pueblo?
Mijas Costa is the coastal strip — about 20 minutes from the airport. Mijas Pueblo is the famous white village in the hills — about 30 km and 35 minutes. Always specify which one when booking a taxi or transfer.
Is there a bus from AGP to Mijas?
There is no direct airport bus to Mijas. You can take the C1 train to Fuengirola and change to a local bus from there, but with luggage a taxi or private transfer is far more practical.
