It's situated on top of a hill against the backdrop of Mount Montgo.
The village is just a short distance from the lovely horseshoe bay and fishing port of Aduanas de Mar.
The promenade is very popular and full of restaurants and bars with excellent views across the bay.
Playa de Arenal is the local beach where you'll find a variety of cafes and restaurants. If you like diving, Cabo de San Antonio has excellent diving and there are many scuba diving shops offering indroductory courses and PADI courses.
The Parc Natural Montgo offers a variety of trails which hikers will enjoy. Just contact the local tourist office and they'll give you a booklet of the Nature Parks and Trekking Routes.
All Spanish villages love fiestas and this village is no exception. As well as the 'Moors and Christians' fiesta, there's the Fiesta of the 'Virgen de Loreto' patron of the port of Duanes de la Mar.
The celebrations include processions with floats, firework displays and 'Bous a la Mar' - bull-running on the jetty. Local boys jump into the sea and at the same time try to encourage a small bull to jump with them.
Due to the strict building regulations, there are no high rise hotels and apartment blocks, only loads of lovely villas.
