Sotogrande, in the municipality of San Roque, is Manilva’s neighbour to the west, about 16 km from Manilva village by road: a residential estate known for its marina, polo and golf. It is in the province of Cádiz and Manilva in Málaga, but both are in Andalucía, so the same general purchase-tax rates apply.
