Manilva, Coastal municipality in Costa del Sol, Spain

The municipality of Manilva spans across 35 square kilometers, featuring inland villages and three coastal settlements: Sabinillas, Puerto Duquesa, and Castillo.

Archaeological discoveries in Sierra Utrera caves indicate continuous human habitation dating back to 6000 BC, with Neolithic tools and pottery found throughout the area.

The September Vendimia grape festival celebrates the local wine production through traditional music, dancing, and tastings of the regional Moscatel wines.

Manilva maintains 31,000 residents, with 17,000 permanent inhabitants and 14,000 temporary residents or holiday homeowners spread across multiple communities.

The Roman ruins at Castillo de la Duquesa contain a preserved fish processing factory that produced garum, a fermented fish sauce exported to ancient Rome.
