A great family evening out in La Duquesa, Manilva

Filed under: Lifestyle,Local Events & Culture,Things to do — Tags: , , , , , — Lucy @ 9:38 am

La Duquesa improves every year and has become a fantastic place to go out to for the evening with street entertainers, markets and a wonderful selection of excellent restaurants to choose from.

Amazing street performers in La Duquesa

There is a great atmosphere at La Duquesa Marina with different generations of families enjoying an evening out together.  The place is bustling with people browsing the market stalls or watching their children on the carousel or rides.

There is a wonderful new “pedal powered” carousel at Puerto de La Duquesa marina ridden by Carlos who delights the little kids by passing them sweets as they spin around.

At El Castillo de La Duquesa there is a Medieval Market with  a wonderful variety of stalls offering a wide range of goods from hand made leather items to silicon iphone covers.

If you are planning an evening out in La Duquesa I would suggest perhaps you park in the car park near  La Duquesa Castle and walk along the promenade to the Marina for a meal or even try one of the restaurants in the village of El Castillo de La Duquesa itself.

Where is your favourite place to go out to in the evening with your family and why?

Is it a good time to buy a property in Manilva, Costa del Sol, Spain?

Filed under: Property — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , — Lucy @ 3:44 pm

When is it a good time to buy a property in Manilva?

Marina in La Duquesa, Manilva

Well if your personal circumstances are ready and you can afford it, now is a great time to buy in Manilva as life is too short to put off doing something that will improve your quality of life.

Manilva is a place that holds many of the factors needed to live a very high quality of life. The climate, the scenery, the culture, the health care, the infrastructure, the leisure activities and the community spirit of the people contribute to it being a very special place to live a high quality of life at not such a high cost.

La Duquesa Golf Course, Manilva, Costa del Sol, Spain

Property prices have come back down to a sensible level, the lowest that they have been in 15 years and in some cases half the price of what they cost in 2007.  People are buying again and the best properties on the market at realistic prices are being sold quickly.

Manilva Municipality Spain

At the same time Manilva has matured into a beautiful holiday resort with La Duquesa marina, La Duquesa golf course, La Duquesa castle and Sabinillas town centre all within walking distance of each other along a lovely promenade next to miles of “blue flag” awarded sandy beaches.
