I am the owner and will be your host at Casa Mijas. My family bought this building to start Z-CoiL Footwear which now adjoins this 1/2 acre property to the north. The living room was our first retail showroom. It took me about 2 years to remodel this Adobe from start to finish to bring it back to its glory. The name “Mijas” comes from the name we call our 3 daughters (Mis Hijas – My Girls in Spanish). We discovered this name after my wife and I visited the town of Mijas in Spain a province of Malaga of the community of Andalusia on the southern coast of Spain.
