Teatro Las Lagunas Mijas

Teatro Las Lagunas Mijas, now officially known as Teatro Manuel España, is a contemporary theatre in Las Lagunas de Mijas designed by architect José Seguí. Conceived as an important cultural venue, the building is distinguished by its white concrete-brick façades and an architecturally designed inner plaza leading towards the auditorium. The theatre accommodates around 640 visitors across the stalls, side boxes and amphitheatre, making it suitable for plays, concerts, dance performances and other cultural events.

The main auditorium was designed with performance functionality and sound in mind. Its vaulted ceiling was specifically conceived to support the acoustics of the hall, while the combination of stalls, amphitheatre seating and multi-level side boxes provides different views of the stage. The complex also includes a fully developed stage area with supporting technical facilities, dressing rooms and additional cultural spaces, while the inner plaza with its water feature and sculpture creates a distinctive transition from the exterior to the auditorium.

The theatre is located at Camino del Albero 16, Las Lagunas de Mijas, Mijas, Spain, immediately next to Ciudad Deportiva de Las Lagunas, which provides a convenient landmark when approaching the venue. From Camino del Albero, visitors enter the theatre complex and its inner plaza before continuing towards the main entrance and auditorium.

Mijas, located on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia, combines the character of a traditional white Andalusian town with the developed tourism and entertainment offering of the Mediterranean coast. Concerts, cultural events, theatre performances and other events take place in different parts of the town, including venues such as the Auditorio Municipal Miguel González Berral in Mijas Pueblo and the Teatro Las Lagunas. Its different urban centres, from historic Mijas Pueblo to Las Lagunas and coastal La Cala de Mijas, allow visitors to combine an event with restaurants, accommodation and experiences characteristic of the Costa del Sol.

For international visitors, the main air gateway is Aeropuerto de Málaga-Costa del Sol, which is connected by the Cercanías Málaga C-1 railway line with Fuengirola and Málaga María Zambrano station. Fuengirola railway station is a practical starting point for continuing the journey towards Mijas, while bus line 122 Fuengirola–Mijas Pueblo is one of the direct connections to the historic centre. The bus network of the Consorcio de Transporte Metropolitano del Área de Málaga also connects Las Lagunas, La Cala de Mijas and surrounding destinations, making it possible to reach auditoriums, cultural venues and other event locations without a private car.

Before or after a concert or sporting event, it is worth exploring the historic centre of Mijas Pueblo, known for its whitewashed houses, narrow streets and views towards the Mediterranean Sea. Notable places include Plaza de la Constitución, Santuario de la Virgen de la Peña and the remains of the old Moorish wall with the Jardines de la Muralla. Visitors wishing to combine an event with time by the sea can head to La Cala de Mijas and walk along the Senda Litoral coastal route, allowing Mijas to offer a natural combination of events, Andalusian architecture and a Mediterranean break.
