Manilva is a small coastal municipality on the border with Cádiz province, made up of the old hill town of Manilva, seaside San Luis de Sabinillas and the Puerto de la Duquesa marina. Its roughly 8 km of coast ranges from rocky coves to long sandy beaches, and it is less crowded than the central Costa del Sol. The town has a long tradition of Muscatel grape growing.
