Spotlight on


Puerto de la Duquesa


P


uerto de la Duquesa is one of the Costa del Sol’s marinas that is enjoyed by sailors and tourists


alike. Located one hour’s drive from the airport of Malaga and 45 minutes form Gibraltar airport. La Duquesa seems like a thousand miles away from the hustle and bustle of the coasts holiday resorts. It is relatively quiet during most of the year. Te restaurants come alive in July and August. Duquesa, as it is known locally, enjoys an advantageous location to the west of Marbella . Te essence in this distinction is that the area retains a vast amount of unspoiled natural scenery and authentic local character - while sharing the fantastic climate of the rest of the Costa del Sol.


Te beautiful port of 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. For those that a do, a number of companies offer Jet Boat, Wake Board, Boat trips and Scuba Diving. Te attractive promenades surrounding the port offer a variety of restaurants, intimate bars and cafes. As you arrive at Duquesa the first thing that catches your eye is the fact that it has been constructed in a typical style of an Andalucian white village. Many of the apartments look out across the marina and there is always a great atmosphere with people buzzing around Duquesa port throughout the year.


Tere are ample parking facilities in Duquesa, which is pretty much a luxury nowadays on the Costa del Sol. In the Port there are a number of free parking spaces provided by two main car parks, as well as ample street parking. Te shops and restaurants are all along the edge of the marina which gives a fantastic setting and ambience in which to do a little “al fresco” dining, and of course some people watching. It is during the Roman period, though, that the area first enjoyed prominence, as it was the site of a thriving fish processing industry, which exported products, including the highly prized Garum paste (a kind of “Gentleman’s Relish”) which was in much demand back in Rome. Remains of the factory, a villa and bathhouse can still be found today.
