Where is La Noria IV located?
La Noria IV is located in San Luis de Sabinillas in the municipality of Manilva in the province of Malaga. It is situated at the edge of Sabinillas, right on the “border” with the next town, Casares. Malaga international airport is an hour’s drive away and Gibraltar airport is 30 minutes in the other direction.
La Noria IV is a frontline beach development with direct access to the Sabinillas promenade and fantastic beach.
With regards to bars and restaurants, you are spoilt for choice as many are within easy walking distance. Therefore, whether you want a quick coffee or a drink, breakfast, tapas, a lunchtime snack, or dinner – it’s all at your fingertips.
A pleasant 20-minute stroll along the promenade from La Noria IV brings you to Duquesa Port. A further 5 minutes on is the traditional fishing village of Castillo de la Duquesa with its 18th century fortress. However, if you prefer to drive, you can reach the port in 3 minutes in the car.
Manilva village is just up the hill which gives a totally different feel. It is a traditional Spanish “white village” with narrow streets and plenty of vineyards – Manilva is known for its wine!
Sabinillas town centre is within easy walking distance from La Noria IV. Therefore, there really is no need to take the car out of the underground parking! However, should you wish to explore further afield, the pretty port and town of Estepona is around 11km away. This equates to roughly 13 minutes in the car. Additionally, Marbella is just over half an hour away.
Local Amenities
Nearby Restaurants
La Noria IV leads directly onto Sabinillas promenade. The Promenade is lined with bars and restaurants to suit every taste and palate. From excellent traditional Spanish Fish restaurants to “British” bars. Therefore, whether it’s tapas, a snack or a 3 course dinner, you will find something to suit you on the “Paseo”. One of our favourites is Miel, which has been established in Sabinillas since 2004. It serves a good selection of dishes catering for breakfasts, lunch and dinners. Also, Miel is renowned locally for its most wonderful pancakes with a variety of toppings – absolutely delicious.
Another notable restaurant is Marymar. This is an excellent fish restaurant which has served the best fish for as long as I can remember! However, it is extremely popular and you will quite often see people queuing for tables. One of the highlights is watching the sardines cooked over an open fire on the beach.
In addition to the restaurants on the paseo, there are several Chiringuitos or beach restaurants. Many of these are now more like restaurants in themselves, offering a large selection of meat & fish dishes alongside traditional dishes like Paella and Gambas pil pil. The nearest Chiriniguitos to La Noria IV are El Paseo and Ramos
