Minor works licence

Hi,

Can anyone help or give advice in the procedure for getting a minor works licence for mijas pueblo/fuengirola apartment? Has anyone had to get one? I only want to update my apartment and kitchen but the whole procedure seems very time consuming and not sure if I even need a licence? I live in the UK and am coming over in a week to complete the work but through all my research it seems very difficult if not impossible to do this work myself and that the Spanish town halls have it all sown up to make as much money out of us as possible and force you to jump through hoops. I can't find any help or info at all on what exactly I have to do. Also do I have to consult my community first??? Any help advice appreciated. Thanks
