The other side of the port is Duquesas neighbour, the fishing village of Sabinillas. This is a few minutes walk along another very pretty promenade. The church is the centre of the village and the town square, surrounded by trees and flowers. There are several shops, banks and large supermarkets. Also there are beachfront cafes, restaurants and childrens play area. The well maintained beaches are the highlight of Sabinillas.
Manilva is a charming white village, a few kilometers inland. Although tourists are just beginning to discover the village, it remains intrinsically Spanish. The town has a fascinating history which dates back to Roman times and there are some remarkably well- preserved Roman sulphur baths and an aqueduct. These are well worth a visit.
The village has several restaurants, near the baths. There is the well-known Roman Oasis and Restaurante Los Alamos, situated by the Manilva river. There is a stream and small lakes perfect for dipping into and some flat rocks suitable for picnics. There are also amazing views towards the mountains and some interesting footpaths.
Grapes consist of a large proportion of village crops producing well-known locally produced sweet wines.
Casares is a 15 minute drive. It is an amazing picture postcard village with a population of just 3000. There is something very special about the sight of Casares that causes the visitor to stop and stare. The village nestles in the mountains, only about 12 km from the coast. The scenery is spectacular all the way to Casares and as you approach the last bend you are treated to a wonderful view of the village with its medieval fortress.
Luckily there is the Restaurant La Terraza and a choice of bars to prepare you for the walk around Casares hilly streets leading to the village square.
Watch for the peregine falcons and kestrels and on a clear day you can see the African coast and the Rock of Gibraltar.
