Estepona

The town of Estepona is located on Spain's Costa del Sol in Andalucia. The town has managed to embrace modern tourism without surrendering its traditional Spanish character and appeal. It's the perfect location for a family holiday or for those wanting plenty to see and do without the mayhem of Torremolinos or Benidorm!

Estepona is 25 kilometres west of its glitzy neighbour Marbella and is within an hour's drive of Malaga International Airport.

Parks, gardens, museums and monuments sit comfortably alongside all the trappings of modern tourism - hotels, apartment blocks, a bustling marina, beach bars and clubs.

Most modern shops are in the centre of town. For fresh fruit and veg, or just for a Traditional Spanish food, visit the indoor market which opens each morning near the castle ruins.

Of course the main attraction for tourists are the beaches of Estepona which are clean, well equipped and stretch for a total of 23 kilometres.

Estepona Marina is a hive of activity both during the day and at night when young revellers dance until the small hours in the many disco bars along the quayside.

There are plentiful bars in Estepona and restaurants in Estepona serving tapas and local Spanish dishes as well as international cuisine and the inevitable burgers and pizzas.

For entertainment, there's a good range of water sports, some excellent golf courses on your doorstep, a riding school and bull fighting.

Don't leave Estepona in Malaga without visiting Marbella, it is only 25 minutes west and it is full of restaurants, pubs, nightclubs, etc.
