What licence do I need to renovate an apartment in La Cala?
It depends on scope. Interior renovation without structural, façade or enclosure work: minor works with declaración responsable. With structural changes, layout changes that affect the façade, or terrace enclosure: major works with a technical project.
Can I enclose the terrace of a home in La Cala?
It depends on the applicable planning, whether it counts as buildability and the residents’ community by-laws. We study planning and community feasibility before designing. If viable, it is filed as major works with project and licence.
Can I renovate a new-build villa to my taste?
Yes. New-build villa buyers commonly want to adapt finishes, kitchens, bathrooms or lighting. If it does not touch structure or façade, the renovation goes as minor works. If there are structural or volume changes, it is filed as major works.
How long does Mijas City Council take to issue a licence?
Minor works with declaración responsable: immediate start on filing. Major works: 4–8 months depending on planning service workload and project complexity. Preparing the file fully from the start is decisive.

About La Cala de Mijas
La Cala de Mijas has seen strong residential growth in recent years. The traditional core by the beach has been joined by new urbanisations with modern villas and contemporary apartments. The coexistence of older stock and recent development shapes a very varied renovation offer.
Mijas City Council files the licences, and each urbanisation adds its own internal rules, especially in new developments (materials, fence heights, terrace enclosures). We coordinate approvals to avoid cumulative delays.
The typical La Cala renovation combines fresh, modern finishes with practical criteria for holiday or second-home use: level-access showers, kitchens open to the living room, master bedrooms with walk-in wardrobe, integrated terrace. In villas, it is common to add a pool, outdoor shower and shaded area.
