I had a lovely week in Mijas the first year I was widowed. It's a beautiful town, he excursions were great, and I was in such good company. For me it was a great introduction to solo travel, and gave me the courage and confidence to attempt long haul trips. Since then, I've been to New Zealand, China, South Africa, New England, Cuba, and Sri Lanka. Next year the plan is to visit Vietnam and Cambodia. The first steps are always the hardest, but I hope that for you too, Mijas will be the first of many enjoyable trips.
