Location Details And Activities |
Puerto de la Duquesa is otherwise known as Costa
Del Sol’s Best Kept Secret. It has a marina
with over 300 berths and a wide variety of restaurants,
cafes and bars.
The marina was once said to be the next Puerto
Banus, but instead it has managed to keep its
charm and quiet environment. Either side of the
marina there are two safe, sandy beaches, one
reaching as far along as Estepona and the other
as far as Sotogrande.
The people who live in and around the marina are
mostly English speaking. Further along from the
marina is a small village called Castillo de la
Duquesa; it is named after the fortress which
is located at the entrance to the village. This
part of Duquesa is mainly Spanish-speaking with
plenty of traditional Spanish bars and restaurants.
Although within easy reach of the airports of
Malaga (40 minutes) and Gibraltar (30 minutes),
La Duquesa seems like a thousand miles away from
the throng of the holiday resorts and offers an
unparalleled quality of life in Southern Spain
Golf
Due to the good weather Spain has become a popular
golf destination. There is a golf course in Duquesa
which has 18-holes and many amazing views, looking
out to Marbella, North Africa and The Gibraltar
Rock. There are also many golf courses in surrounding
areas, such as Estepona Golf.
Castillo de la Duquesa
Situated just to the west of the marina of Puerto
de la Duquesa is the small hamlet of Castillo.
Taking it's name from the Castillo de la Duquesa,
an 18th Century fortress which stands at the entrance,
this fishing village can trace it's history back
to at least Roman times when it was a bustling
industrial centre whose chief products were salted
fish and a rather peculiar paste made from fermented
fish guts known as Garum. This ancient 'Gentlemen's
Relish' was much sought after back in Rome and
so brought a great deal of prosperity to this
corner of the Empire.
The remnants of the Roman settlement can still
be seen today. To southwest of the Castle, next
to the 'Plaza de Banos', is the old bathhouse.
Although currently behind a locked gate you can
still see the remains of the boiler house with
it's oven and 'hypocausts' (under floor heating)
and large stone bathing tank, as well as patches
of the original mosaic flooring.
Gibraltar
This is a British country on the south of Spain.
Its town is built around the Rock of Gibraltar.
It was used as an army and navy base during the
war. Now it offers many attractions:
Tour of the rock – this can be done by mini-bus
taxis, it takes around 90 minutes and the driver
will stop at all of the attractions so that you
can look around.
Cable Car ride – This will take you to the
top of the rock in 8 minutes, there is also a
stop at the apes den midway.
Barbary Apes – the only free-roaming apes
in Europe, there are 160 living on the rock, they
interact with the visitors.
Great siege and world war 2 tunnels – Both
of these tunnels are now open to the public giving
their history, helped by the use of waxwork models
and props.
Moorish Castle – Open to the public, again
offering more on the history of Gibraltar.
St Michael's Cave – a wonderful array of
stalagmites and stalactites, and a very good use
of lighting within the cave, part of this cave
has also been transformed into a concert theatre.
Dolphin safari – departs from the marina
bay complex (outside Bianca’s) There are
different companies in different boats. The trips
last for around 1 1⁄2 hours, taking you
away from shore to see and possible touch the
dolphins.

town, there are many British shops such as Marks
and Spencer’s, Dorothy Perkins, as well
as shops selling glassware, priceless porcelain,

attractions for the whole family. Open May through
