Estepona is an Andalucian fishing village on the Costa
del Sol located 16 miles from Marbella and just within an hour
of Malaga and its airport.
Estepona
is one of the few coastal towns that has maintained its "pueblo"
charm and character. It has a bustling and atmospheric centre
but with all the tourist facilities including hotels, restaurants,
leisure and cultural activities, and shops. The town is sheltered
on its northern side by the Sierra Bermeja mountains which reach
1,449m at their highest point, Los Reales. Estepona has a wonderful,
quiet cove Playa de Cristo which is ideal for small children
because of its shallow, safe waters, a long, clean, sandy beach
called La Rada. Estepona has a port and harbour where you can
rent a boat with or without a skipper, and where dolphin spotting
trips and fishing excursions are offered. The port has direct
sun most of the day, there are many bars and restaurants to cater
for all tastes and it has its own Sunday market. The town is
of attractive construction, combining modern with old and has
many places to see including the Plaza de las Flores and the
Torre de Reloj (clock tower).
