About us

Viviendo La Manga is your local guide to La Manga del Mar Menor and Cabo de Palos: an independent directory of restaurants, accommodation, shops, activities and places worth discovering, for both year-round residents and visitors.

I'm Marioly Vivancos, a computer engineer by profession and a teacher at heart. Work brought me to the coast, and I chose to settle where I'd spent so many childhood summers: La Manga. I live here all year round, so my recommendations come from experience: I try, visit and check each place myself.

Three things we won't compromise on

• 01 Personally checked. Every listing is checked: that the place exists, opens and has a working phone number. No filler or phantom businesses.
• 02 A local perspective. Recommendations from people who live here all year, with an honest eye for what's good.
• 03 Supporting local businesses. We help local businesses get noticed, from longstanding favourites to new arrivals.
