About Estepona

Estepona is one of the most westerly towns on the Costa del Sol. Situated between Malaga (85k) and Gibraltar (45k) International Airports which offer excellent flight connections into the UK, and good car hire facilities. The town nestles at the base of the Sierra Berjma Mountains, protected from the cold northerly winds and bad weather in winter. Estepona maintains an enjoyable climate all year round

Estepona's Old Town centre preserves its typically charming Andalusian style of architectural town planning. It has a maze of cobblestone streets lined with orange trees and original whitewashed townhouses with balconies colourfully decorated with flowerpots. Estepona is one of the prettiest and most quintessentially Spanish of all the coastal towns.

There are excellent beaches and tourist facilities nearby, including a wild life park: Selwo, which is considered one of the best in Europe. There is also a prestigious riding centre & school: Escuela de Arte Ecuestre de la Costa del Sol. All this, together with many sporting services for both land and water activities.

Estepona was originally a fishing village. An early morning visit to the Fish Market will see the largest fleet south of Malaga return. It is well worth a visit to understand their continued importance to local cuisine and the economy. After May the bullfighting season begins in a modern Bullring a few minutes walk from the Marina. Early in July the annual Fiesta y Feria week which transforms the sleepy town into a carnival with locals dressed in colourful Flamenco style clothes.

The fine sandy beach is long, wide and pleasant with sun lounges for hire by the day or week. The graceful promenade is continuously studded with palm trees and flowerbeds. Located in the centrally in the town is the Tourismo on Avenida San Loenzo 1.
