The Costa del Sol region


Among the many attractions, too numerous to list fully, including:
La Duquesa sport marina, miles of beautiful uncrowded beaches, promenades with bars, restaurants, cafés and services, championship 18 hole golf course, the natural marvels of Andalusia, shopping and bustling nightlife minutes away, easy airport access and excellent transports.
La Duquesa enjoys an advantageous location to the west of Marbella, sometimes called "the Other Costa del Sol". The essence in this distinction is that the area retains a vast amount of unspoilt natural scenery and authentic local character - while sharing the fantastic climate and all the excellent services and infrastructure of the rest of the Costa del Sol. This is primarily due to a limited and well-managed development. The result: an ideal balance of relaxed living with easy access to every imaginable amenity. In other terms, quality of life.
The beautiful port La Duquesa offers full marina services for boating enthusiasts as well as a myriad of attractions for those with no aspirations to take to the water. The attractive promenades encircling the port offer a variety of restaurants, intimate bars and cafés in which to while away the days. The vast choice of eating and drinking options include French, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai and, of course, Spanish with its fresh, local fish. Numerous services and grocers are also on hand. Two nights a week the port hosts a unique Crafts Market, popular with the local residents as well as visitors.
La Duquesa Golf and Country Club boasts an 18 holes course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., a technical masterpiece with wonderful sea and mountain views.
Whether its miles of pristine beaches (many earning the European Blue Flag for cleanliness) or rugged mountains with their wildlife, the La Duquesa area offers every type of terrain. Rising virtually from the beaches, the mountains hide their medieval towns like little jewels ¬ the famed White Villages. Every type of nature recreation is at hand including even winter and spring skiing only two hours away in Granada.
Cosmopolitan Life can be found only twenty minutes away in the "jet-set" city of Marbella with its hustle and bustle. Shopping experiences of every kind are available ranging from the upscale El Corte Inglés, Spains premier department store, to the sprawling La Cañada mall just outside Marbella, to the infinite variety of small shops and boutiques lining the cobble-stoned streets of Old Marbella. Just before Marbella, approaching from La Duquesa, is the international resort of Puerto Banus with its millionaire playground of floating palaces and luxury cars
The Casares Costa area
The village of Casares , only 14 kilometres from the bustling and cosmopolitan Costa del Sol , unexpectedly displays to the visitor the most authentic character of those mountain villages that have miraculously avoided an absurd and poorly understood modernity. This locality has preserved in its urban quarter an ambience of quieter times while, to the extent permitted by good taste, making those renovations to its infrastructure that modern life demands. Such balance is anything but easy, but in Casares it has been achieved and it is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain , as evidenced by the fact that in 1978 it was designated a Historical-Artistic Complex.
Casares is a picture postcard village with a population of just three thousand. To say that Casares is beautiful is an understatement. Most of the white villages are beautiful but there is something very special about the sight of Casares that causes the visitor to park the car and simply stare or take a photo
