Estepona - Costa del Sol

One of the quieter resorts on the Costa del Sol is situated 75km down the coast from Malaga airport. Maybe this is the reason it still retains much of its fishing village character, with none of the high rise apartment blocks as seen in other resorts along the coast.
In the older part of town is where you will find the typical white washed homes of the locals, with their flower filled balconies and the decorative wrought iron gateways.

To the west of the seafront is the marina where you can stroll around the magnificent yachts moored here, and also early in the morning see the fishing boats land their catch and see the auction taking place.

Costa del Sol - Estepona

The resort of Estepona is much quieter than the more well known places up the coast such as Torremolinos or Fuengirola. One reason could be its locality, which is 8o kms away from Malaga airport which serves the Costa del Sol resorts. The airport of Gibralter is only about 45 kms away but is only served by a few flights from the UK, mainly London.

Although Estepona has a coastline of more than 20 kms, it has still retained a lot the Spanish village charm which is often lost these days with the invasion of tourists ! The town still has the narrow streets and pretty white washed dwellings, along with small squares sheltered by trees in which the locals gather for their daily chat! Here also is the marina and port where the fishermen bring their catch to sell at the daily auction for the restraunts and Chiringuitos which line the sea front.
