History of Mijas

The Tertessians were vital trading partners of the Phoenicians, who were established on the Atlantic Coast of southern Spain since the 8th century BC. During the time the Romans settled in Spain, the village of Tamisa, as it was known by the Romans, was a flourishing little town. The marble from the quarries in Mijas was highly sought after and marble statues and other artwork can be found in several cities in Spain and even Italy.
