The atmosphere
Las Lagunas is the urban core of the municipality of Mijas, and its least known part. The municipality has two other centres: Mijas Pueblo, the white village perched at four hundred and twenty metres, and Mijas Costa, the coastal frontage of urbanisations. Las Lagunas is the town on the plain, some thirty thousand inhabitants, so tight against Fuengirola that you pass from one municipality to the other without noticing.
The avenida de Mijas lines up shops that are not aimed at tourists, and the set menus fill the dining rooms at midday. In the evening families meet at the park and at the sports complex. The population is resident and mostly Spanish: no dead season, no closed shutters in November. The weekly market and the supermarkets on the avenue serve all year.
Everything is on the spot or five minutes away: the Mijas high-resolution hospital in the neighbourhood, the health centres, the state and state-assisted schools, the municipal nurseries, the municipal theatre. Mijas Golf and its two courses, Los Lagos and Los Olivos, border the sector. The C-1 train terminus, at Fuengirola, is ten minutes away and reaches the airport in 18 min. Málaga airport is twenty minutes away by car, with four direct rotations a week from Findel.
This is where the municipality builds the most. Serviced land on the plain is still available and new development comes out without a break: buildings of three or four storeys with a pool, an underground garage and a bike store, small groups of terraced houses. The price per square metre stays below the coast, and the beach is five minutes away by car. Year-round letting finds takers among residents who work on the coast.
The micro-areas to know: the centre, around the avenida de Mijas, for life on foot; Los Olivos, residential and recent, for the buildings with a pool; El Albero, quieter, backing onto the first slopes of the sierra. The most recent developments come out at Campanales and on the fringe that touches Fuengirola; the surroundings of Mijas Golf hold the houses open onto the fairways.
Las Lagunas suits buyers who want new-build, a budget held and a real use: a first Spanish purchase, a move for the whole year, or a pied-à-terre let to residents rather than to holidaymakers. The sea cannot be seen from the homes and the first beach takes five minutes by car. The setting is that of a Spanish town on the plain, with no seafront and no promenade.

The property market
New-build comes out without a break and almost always takes the same form: buildings of three or four storeys with a pool, an underground garage and a bike store, small groups of terraced houses. Expect €3,000 to €3,900/m² for new-build, against €2,300 to €3,000/m² for resale. That means €280,000 to €450,000 for a new apartment and €400,000 to €600,000 for a terraced house.

Who is it for?
Las Lagunas suits first Spanish purchases, families settling for the whole year, and investors who target letting to residents rather than to holidaymakers. For a buyer from Luxembourg, it is one of the cheapest ways into new-build on the Costa del Sol. The airport is twenty minutes away, served directly from Findel.
Strengths
- New developments following one another, on serviced land still available
- Price per m² well below the coast, five minutes from the beach
- Málaga airport 20 minutes away, direct flight from Luxembourg
- Spanish life all year: no dead season, no neighbourhood emptying out
- Hospital, schools, theatre and sports facilities in the neighbourhood
- Rental demand from residents, independent of the tourist season
Things to consider
- Neither sea nor sea view: the beach takes 5 to 10 minutes by car
- A mixed urban fabric inherited from the growth of the 2000s, with tight parking in the centre
- A market carried by local Spanish demand: slower resale to foreign buyers than on the seafront

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about Las Lagunas de Mijas
Three centres of the same municipality, at three altitudes. Mijas Pueblo is the white village perched at four hundred and twenty metres, much visited and without a sea. Mijas Costa is the coastal frontage, from La Cala to Calahonda, made of urbanisations and beaches. Las Lagunas is the urban core on the plain, up against Fuengirola: this is where most of the population lives, where the services are and where the new-build goes up.
Because the municipality still holds serviced land on the plain, while the coast next door is built up without a gap. The developments almost all take the same form: three or four storeys, a communal pool, an underground garage and a fitted kitchen on delivery. On tax, this is Andalusian new-build: VAT at 10% and AJD at 1.2%, so 11 to 12% of costs with the notary and the registry. There is never any IGIC here: it is a Canarian tax.
Of the order of 30 to 40% for a comparable specification. A new three-bedroom home with a garage and a pool trades here at around €350,000, against €500,000 and more at La Cala de Mijas or El Higuerón, for an equivalent floor area and delivery. What you are not paying for is the view and the walk to the sand: allow five to ten minutes by car for the first beach.
Without a break. Las Lagunas is lived in by permanent residents, Spanish for the most part, who work on the coast. Shops, schools, health centres, the theatre and the sports facilities run twelve months a year. The urbanisations on the coast next door lose half their occupants between November and March; here, year-round letting finds takers.
