About Estepona

Estepona is located in a fertile valley at the foot of the Bermejo Mountains. This place has about 325 days of sunshine per year, significantly above average for the region. Estepona is known as the garden of the Costa del Sol for a reason. You can already see it at the 1st roundabout, an opulence of jasmine and orange blossom, parks and green hiking trails full of flowers and palm trees. Charming squares and squares full of orange trees. Fertility is largely due to the unique position in the middle of a valley where countless streams flow from the Sierra Bermeja. Estepona, with a history back to the 4th century. Destroyed and rebuilt several times.

More than 21 kilometres of white sandy beach that is cleaner, quieter and generally finer than the beaches of big neighbour Marbella, a pleasure marina but also a real fishing port. The fishermen still sail every day and sell their daily catch here, during the day you will find them at the fishermen’s cottages where they tie the nets. The characteristic old town – the airframe antiguo / Estepona Old Town – with neatly whitewashed houses, art on the walls and above all a sympathetic, Spanish, authentic atmosphere. Estepona is free from the adverse effects that have displaced spain’s Spanish costas. Instead, it has remained a hearty Andalusian town that slumbers peacefully in the Spanish sun. Due to its unique location in the valley with the shelter of a real mountain range up to almost 1500 meters, Estepona has its own special micro-climate. It is greener and sunnier than anywhere else on the Costa del Sol.

The town has it all, hiking in the mountains, art & culture, architecture, gastronomy. A number of shopping streets where there is something special to be found. Hardly big chains, but tapas bars and terraces interspersed with nice fashion, delicious patisserie, fruteria’s and vegetable jewellers. Be sure to visit the cosy market in the Puerto of Estepona on Sunday morning and the emblematic bell tower, the oldest ecclesiastical building on the Costa del Sol.
