La Duquesa & Manilva Guide
La Duquesa & Manilva
At a first glance La Duquesa holds that stereotypical appeal to Brits that you find in most of the coastal areas with its many facilities and choice of international cuisine. However, before you turn your nose up at the thought of Brits downing pints in the sun, let me tell you a thing or two about La Duquesa, one of the most up and coming areas of the Costa del Sol.

La Duquesa - Manilva
Today we are at La Duquesa, often referred to as Puerto de la Duquesa, a relatively new area of the Costa del Sol which has undergone considerable development over the last 3 years. If you are driving towards Gibraltar, La Duquesa is on your way between Estepona and Sotogrande. It is the final major holiday resort location in the Málaga province, just before you enter the Cádiz province.
Within La Duquesa area you will find the port of Duquesa, with its international restaurants and boutiques. The port provides a full marina service for enthusiastic sailors, not to mention plenty of alternatives for those who prefer to admire the boats from the safety of one of the wide variety of restaurants, intimate bars and small cafes dotted around La Duquesa port.
The roads leading away from La Duquesa port take you into the hills of Duquesa and its golf course, the Duquesa Golf and Country Club. Without a monstrous tower block in sight , residents in the la Duquesa area can enjoy a view of some kind whether it be sea, mountain or golf course. However those same residents are more likely to be distracted by the pot holed roads and unfinished areas that affect their daily lives.
In La Duquesa, you are never more than a ten minute walk away from the farmers picking their grapes in the surrounding vineyards, preparing to make the famous Manilva wine. Likewise, whilst some are enjoying a morning round of golf, five minutes away, others are just returning with their daily catch or are already repairing their nets ready to do the same again tomorrow. Blink and you will miss the tiny Duquesa village boasting a castle soon to become a local museum featuring local artefacts depicting traditional local life. On the subject of village life most Duquesa tourists wont venture up the hill to the white washed village of Manilva to sample a taste of the ideal Spain.
Despite living right next door to its very Spanish neighbours, La Duquesa is particularly appealing to appeals to the British buyer seeking recognised facilities without the hustle and bustle of Marbella and the like.
