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
Muscatel
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. |
