Postcard: Costa Del Sol Donkey Taxis in Mijas
This Costa Del Sol postcard is part of my small collection of vintage Spain postcards. After scanning the postcard I did some color correction and other edits to make the color and details stand out more.
The postcard appears to be from the 1960s or 1970s and offers a glimpse into Costa Del Sol's past. The scene is from Mijas, an Andalucian Costa Del Sol pueblos blancos (white houses) village in Màlaga province.
These donkey taxis offer a novel way to get around Mijas. The pictured donkeys are posed with their young drivers. In between giving tourist donkey rides, these Mijas village donkeys are taking a brief rest to pose for the camera.
