It is not unusual to see the locals riding donkeys. The donkey, as a means of transport, is a long-standing tradition in&nbsp;<strong>Mijas<\/strong>. If you are a lover of quality ingredients,&nbsp;<strong>fish and seafood<\/strong>, this is a great place for you, as fishing is still very popular among the locals.
