Service area · El Faro
El Faro sits on the Mijas Costa coastline around the Calaburras lighthouse it takes its name from. It's one of the quieter residential stretches — small apartment blocks, family villas, and a local community that's stayed stable through decades of coastal change. Because El Faro is only minutes from our base in Riviera del Sol, it's one of our most responsive service areas. Standard return takes 2–3 days; Express return within 24 hours is available for €29.90.

El Faro: steep streets, sea views and one very useful lighthouse
Half the addresses we serve in El Faro come with the same instruction: find the Calaburras lighthouse, then head uphill. The urbanisations climb the slope in tiers behind the old N-340, each reached by a short service road off the carriageway — and several of those entrances can only be taken from one direction of travel. So we do not plan El Faro by clock order. The driver groups stops by carriageway, taking the Fuengirola-bound entrances on the way out and the Marbella-bound ones on the return, and notes your side of the road after the first order.
The hill is the other factor. Streets narrow as they rise, turning space is scarce, and many sea-view villas sit above or below their garages. When stopping outside your gate is not practical, the driver parks at the first wide point and meets you at the nearest safe, accessible handover point. Send a map pin and tell us what the gate looks like — that gets the driver to the right villa faster than the street name will.
Villa loads here run heavy — guest bedding, pool towels, winter duvets — and at 21-30 kg the rate drops to €6.49 per kilo, our lowest residential rate. Standard return takes 2–3 days; Express returns within 24 hours.
