Anders als Puerto Ban\u00fas oder Sotogrande ist dies ein Hafen, in dem Fischerboote noch immer neben Yachten liegen, die Hafenrestaurants voller Einheimischer sind und die Preise \u2013 beim Essen wie beim Immobilienkauf \u2013 zu den niedrigsten der K\u00fcste geh\u00f6ren.<\/p>\n<p>Der Hafen ist auf mehreren Ebenen gebaut. Liegepl\u00e4tze und Schiffsausstattung am Wasser, Bars, Restaurants und Sommermarktst\u00e4nde dar\u00fcber und eine obere Promenade mit Blick \u00fcber die Stra\u00dfe von Gibraltar. An einem klaren Tag sind die Rif-Berge Marokkos zu sehen \u2013 eine gute Erinnerung daran, wie weit westlich man sich befindet. Das st\u00e4rkste Argument ist der Wert: Zweizimmerwohnungen kosten weit weniger als Vergleichbares in Marbella, w\u00e4hrend das Lifestyle-Angebot \u2013 Hafengastronomie, Strandzugang, Golf in Minutenn\u00e4he, Gibraltar und Sotogrande in der N\u00e4he \u2013 mit doppelt so teuren Gegenden mithalten kann. Eine gro\u00dfe britische und irische Gemeinschaft sorgt f\u00fcr englischsprachige Infrastruktur, und der angrenzende Ort San Luis de Sabinillas bietet authentisches spanisches Alltagsleben: M\u00e4rkte, Tapas-Bars und eine Paseo Mar\u00edtimo voller Familien an Sommerabenden.<\/p>\n<h2>Wer lebt in La Duquesa?<\/h2>\n<p>Eine starke britische und irische Gemeinschaft, mehrere Tausend in der gesamten Gemeinde Manilva. Spanische und s\u00fcdamerikanische Bewohner in Sabinillas. Deutsche und skandinavische Zweitwohnungsbesitzer. Rentner und Halbrentner, Gibraltar-Pendler, Ferienvermietungsinvestoren und eine wachsende Anzahl j\u00fcngerer Familien, angezogen vom Preis-Leistungs-Verh\u00e4ltnis.
