Donkey taxi in Mijas

Mijas is a small town, not far from the see, lying in the mountains, very popular for tourists. The idea of the donkey taxi arose this way: While the farmers used to go to the fields with the donkeys, from time to time some tourist came and asked for the picture with the donkey and he left some peso to the farmer. Somebody wanted to take a lift on the donkey or pose for the picture to his family album. The farmers realized that they earned more by using donkeys as the lift instead of plowing fields and cropping the onions ("burro" = donkey). Today you can come and take a lift for shopping on the donkey for some 10 euros.
We visited the bullring which is very small, about a quarter of those one in Malaga. Excuse me, but I had to put the sequence of pictures with Jirka-toreador.
To the south of Mijas you can take delight in the distant see coastline, to the north there are the rocky mountains. Because we had some waste time we climbed with Jitka nearly up to the highest peak of the mountain-range, the comeback to Mijas we managed accurately with the sunset. There was warning about the mountain goats and scorpions on the advise boards at the foothill of the mountain but although i was turning the rocks all the time, we hadn't seen any scorpion. At least two mountain goats came to see us at the end.
