There has been an increased presence of less militarised Guardia Civil in the centre of the town.

Some have speculated that this is the fallout from an incident in October 2022, when a Moroccan man was shot near an urbanización close to Mijas Costa.

There is also some speculation that he might be a man described as ‘morito’ (Arabic or Moorish) who was shot at the Da Vinci restaurant a few months ago for stealing a watch. A local source has suggested that he was threatening to explode gas cylinders today.

We will bring you the facts of this tense situation in la Cala de Mijas as they emerge.
