Before you laugh, this is one of Mijas' transportation options. New York has yellow cabs, Bangkok has tuk-tuks, and Mijas has burro taxis. These licensed drivers are ready to take you for a ride.

"What do you feed the donkeys?" "Well, hay, carrots, fruit sometimes. "Do you ever lose control of them? Very occasionally, they are generally very calm."

In the past, these burro taxis were used for transporting lime and marble from quarries to the coast. Later, as that need went away, burro taxis were born.

"Do you prefer to walk or the burro?" "The Burro, we do not get as tired and it is more fun. DId you like the donkey? Tell them... you have a name for it, do not you?" "Handsome..." "Here it is best to ride a donkey, streets are steep, so it is very good." This is Sara Shaikh showing you Mijas.
