But I still found areas of the pueblo and people that haven't changed that much. They've been bringing me back each spring and fall since that first visit.
On the second trip over I brought a camera. I became fascinated by the differences in the village over time. So I set up this web site to showcase them. Some are from today, others from 70s when I lived there, and there are a few from pre-tourism days.
Click the icons on the left to visit each section:
Changes provides a look at how Mijas has developed from the quaint village in the 1950s to the tourism trap it eventually became.
Gentes contains photographs of the people... Spaniards and foreign residents... from the early 70s and today.
The Images section contains sights and scenes, both past and present, of Mijas.
The final group of photos is of TTown, or Torremolinos. The photographs here are of people, changes and images from Torremolinos and other areas along the coast.
