The Ermita del Calvario was built in 1710 and used as a spiritual retreat by the Carmelite monks. Now days it is only open on Fridays during lent so don’t bother looking for opening times. The chapel looks down on Mijas and is a twenty minute walk from the village centre but well worth the trip. The views of Mijas and the Costa del Sol are truly stunning. The chapel can be seen from Mijas but looks a daunting walk. It’s not to bad though as long as your have suitable footwear.
