The town of Estepona is one of the hidden
gems of the Costa del Sol in Southern Spain. It is often overlooked in favour
of neighbouring Marbella and to a certain extent Fuengirola and Torremolinos,
which means that it has been able to keep its ambience and “olde worlde” charm,
although it does cater for foreign visitors. It has one of the prettiest old
quarters in Andalusia with narrow streets of whitewashed houses covered in
colourful plant pots bursting with flowers of all sorts.
Estepona faces the coast and is backed by
the Sierra Bermeja mountains which are only 40 minutes away by car and offer
some great hiking and cycling trails with views of North Africa and Gibraltar
in the distance. Indeed, Gibraltar airport is only 40 minutes from Estepona,
and Malaga airport is just an hour.
If you are a golfer, Estepona could provide
your dream home because it has no fewer than six golf courses, and there are
yet another five only 15 minutes’ drive away in Sotogrande. There is also a
fantastic choice of restaurants in Estepona offering Italian, Mexican, Indian,
and Chinese food, and of course there are plenty of excellent seafood
restaurants such as La Escorella which is right at the side of the port and
gets its’ fresh fish straight off the boat every day. Another outstanding
seafood restaurant is El Pescador which offers some of the biggest and juiciest
black mussels you have ever seen.
