Places in Spain - Manilva, Costa del Sol, Andalucia

 

What a wonderful little white village in Andalucia. Set back from the coast by about 3km, high on the hill, this sleepy little village has almost been untouched by tourism. There are few bars and restaurants, no discos, no nightclubs and a sprinkling of accommodation options. There are however, wonderful Spanish properties to be bought within the town.

The main hub of the village is embraced by a magnificent vineyard of Moscatel Grapes. Most of the district is influenced by the coast as is reflected in the first class fish restaurants available.

 

The first traces of human habitation here are Neolithic but many others have left their mark. More than 20 sites of interest have been found in the area. Manilva's centre was founded at the request of Malaga, Ronda and Gibraltar in 1528 in order to improve security in the area. Charles V ordered the Duke of Arcos to build a settlement for 50-60 people.

 

From Manilva you can look over the hill towards the sea and obtain panoramic views of the Costa del Sol. The nearest town is Puerto de la Duquesa, sat alongside the Mediterranean.  Estepona is just 13km away and Malaga is 97km away.

Wander down one of the narrow side streets and find the 17th century church. Close by is a quiet square to sit and rest.

 

Very close to the village of Manilva lie some excellent Roman ruins. At the foot of the village are two pieces of aqueduct in very good state, one of which can actually be walked over. There is also a Roman bath that is still used to this day. Spanish people travel from miles around to bathe in the white, Sulphur waters. The baths are undeveloped and untouched by tourism for they are not publicised and difficult to find. From the N340 in Sabinillas, follow the road to the Roman Oasis Restaurant, see the aqueduct on your right. After this follow the dirt track for 1km into the woods. The baths are on your right.
