At a first glance La Duquesa might appear to have just the same appeal found in many of the coastal areas of Spain - often all with very similar holiday facilities and a choices of international cuisine.

However, this area really is quite special, centred as it is aroung a lovely and original fishing port. Here is a short video which provides some personal stories about Puerto de da Duquesa - probably one of the most up and coming areas of the Costa del Sol.

The nearby fishing village of El Castillo (also a local historic castle), and the villages of Sabinillas, the Roman Oasis, and the village of Manilva, and are all with easy walking distance along the promanade - where you will also find supermarkets, excellent restaurants and a daily market.

The Southern Costas are now well established as a year round golfing destination - with more than 25 courses over the 75 mile stretch of coastline. For golfing visitors, the first tee at Golf Duquesa is literally a five minute walk from the studio appartment. There are also many hiking and mountain cycle trails just a few Km inland.
