Ancient Moscatel vineyards above white cliffs — the Costa del Sol's hidden gem.
Manilva is the Costa del Sol's least-discovered gem — an ancient village surrounded by Moscatel vineyards above a dramatic coastline of white cliffs and fishing villages. The vines here are among Spain's oldest, and the local white wine has a loyal following among those in the know.
Vineyard cycling tours, coastal walks, white fishing village visits, local wine tasting, Duquesa Marina.
Spring for walking, summer for beach, autumn for grape harvest.
40 minutes from Marbella, 20 minutes from Sotogrande.
The annual Moscatel festival in August is one of the most authentic local fiestas on the coast. Visit the fishing village of Sabinillas for the freshest grilled fish.
