Mijas Karting is a delightful racing circuit on the outskirts of Fuengirola. Practice sessions take place from 10:00 - 20:00 meaning teams can take this quick and easy excursion at whatever time they want. The track is also used by owner-drivers. They have various kart classes for hire, including children, which use a separate track.
 
From the start/finish line, the first, right-handed hairpin is hardish to negotiate if you've arrived at the end of the straight at full speed, but possible with some tyre squeal. A more measured approach does not seem to improve your time, however. The next two bends, left and right, can be taken quickly. At the next one, right again, prepare for a long left-hander at the end of which is a very critical double right-hander. The top straight terminates in another double right, and the subsequent long, long left should be finished with a view to negotiating a clean right-hand hairpin onto the main straight again.
 
Except for the first and last hairpins, the circuit can be driven at full throttle in the rental karts. The track is wide, but the racing line is quite critical.
 
The circuit boast a nice cafe enabling you to incorporate lunch into the excursion at a reasonable price. The cafe has a high viewing platform from which you can see the whole circuit.
