Manilva sits at the western end of the Costa del Sol, between Estepona and Sotogrande. It combines the character of a traditional Andalusian village, known for its vineyards and annual grape harvest festival, with an attractive coastline. That coastline includes the lively marina at Puerto de la Duquesa, with its restaurants and bars, and sandy beaches. Golf is never far away, with several courses nearby, and Gibraltar and Marbella are both within easy driving distance. Year-round sunshine and a friendly, international community make Manilva a popular choice with British buyers.
