Estepona

Pretty white houses, world class beaches and a sophisticated atmosphere make Estepona the destination for people who enjoy the finer things in life.

Estepona is a traditional fishing town turned resort with a distinctly Andalucian look and feel. Walk past whitewashed buildings festooned with stunning blue and pink flowers towards the sea front and take in life around one of the numerous  chiringuitos  (beach bars) serving fresh fish and paella.

Surrounded by the mountains of the Sierra Bermeja, Estepona has a pleasing micro-climate with around 325 days of sunshine a year. You’ll find the summers hot and dry and the winters pleasurably mild, and that means you’ll be able to make the most of the town’s two Blue Flag beaches. The most popular is Playa la Rada in the centre of town with its modern promenade where you’ll pass palm trees and exotic cacti along its 2.5 km length.

Life still revolves around the traditional square in the centre – the pretty Plaza de las Flores is always filled with people socialising on benches or the outdoor café.
