The Costa del Sol in Spain – literally the “Coast of the Sun” – has some amazing beaches, and they are flooded with tourists every year. In July and August, it can be almost impossible to find a spot on a beach in Marbella, Fuengirola, or Torremolinos.
However, this is not true of neighbouring Estepona. For whatever reason, Estepona is less well-known than the other towns, and as a result the beaches are less crowded, even its’ main beach which is Playa Rada. Behind Playa Rada there are also a lot of bars, together with some very classy seafood restaurants. There are some very good Chinese, Mexican, Italian, and Mexican restaurants as well, but La Escorella by the port gets its fish straight off the boat every morning and it doesn’t get fresher than that. Another, El Pescador, serves some of the biggest mussels you have ever seen.
Not only is Estepona less busy than its’ neighbours, but from Playa Rada into the Old Town is only a ten-minute walk, and here you can see some of the prettiest houses decorated with plant pots in a range of colours that hang from the whitewashed walls. The Central Square is Plaza de las Flores and has beautiful orange trees and tapas bars.
If you are looking for a holiday home or a retirement villa on the Costa del Sol, you could do a lot worse than search for
Estepona villas for sale. What’s more, despite the fact that Estepona is not as well-known as its’ nearby neighbours, there are still a lot of holidaymakers who do come here, so you can purchase an apartment or a villa and you will still be able to let it out for most of the year, giving you a pretty much guaranteed yearly income. Purchasing a villa in Estepona can be a great investment.
Not only that, if you want to diversify your investment portfolio and include some property on the Costa del Sol you will find that there are property agents who know the area very well and can help you find the right property for your needs that fits your budget.
After all, if you have money to invest, it makes sense to spread it around rather than investing solely in the UK with the ongoing risk that there could be a general election in the next few months and, if the result is what it might be, we suddenly have a government determined to punish those who have the temerity to own a second home or have worked hard to get where they are, only to see it go down the drain overnight!
Is it worth the risk?
