This is the best village in Málaga that you can visit in May:

The month of May is one of the most diverse in terms of options in Málaga. Without the sweltering heat of the more summery months like June, or the peak of July and August, it offers more pleasant days, but still the possibility to enjoy the plans and leisure that summer brings. One such town in Málaga that shines in May is Manilva: are you up for discovering why? Located near the border with the province of Cádiz, Manilva is part of the Western Costa del Sol and offers those who visit a complete experience thanks to its dual identity: agricultural, associated with the cultivation of Moscatel grapes; and touristic, linked to the Mediterranean and its eight kilometers of coastline.

The historical heritage of Manilva allows visitors to travel back in time through different eras. One of the most notable elements is the Castle of La Duquesa, a fortress built in 1767 on an ancient Roman villa with the aim of protecting the coast from pirate attacks. This building, along with the remains of the Neolithic settlement of Castillejos de Alcorrín, is part of the complex cataloged as a Site of Cultural Interest.

Another heritage site is the Fortín de Sabinillas, today home to the Municipal Archaeological Museum, which houses ceramics, funerary objects, coins, and utensils dated between the 1st and 5th centuries. Also worth mentioning is the Torre de Chullera, an old Nasrid watchtower located on a rocky cape by the sea, in the unique area of Punta Chullera, with coves and cliffs of great ecological and scenic value.

The church of Santa Ana, built in the 18th century on an earlier temple, reflects the religious architecture of the interior of Málaga, while Villa Matilde, the former residence of Ignacio Infante, brother of Blas Infante, has been restored to house archaeological exhibitions.

In addition, the natural trails, such as the section of the Senda Litoral, allow you to walk through the municipality and discover corners that alternate panoramic views, agricultural areas, and hidden beaches.

The Port of La Duquesa, located between Marbella and Sotogrande, is another tourist landmark of Manilva. It is the westernmost port of the province of Málaga and is a regular recipient of the Blue Flag for the quality of its facilities. Its surroundings include restaurants, bars, and shops that energize the cultural and leisure activity.

This space is also ideal for the practice of water sports and other outdoor activities. For golf lovers, the municipality has a course where you can enjoy the sport at any time of the year.

Manilva is located just over an hour's drive from the capital of Málaga. The most direct route is via the AP-7, taking exit 142 to connect with the A-337. The road offers a comfortable and quick journey to one of the most tranquil and complete destinations on the Málaga coast.
