About Estepona
In recent years, Estepona has quietly transformed into one of the most charming coastal towns on the Costa del Sol and is affectionately referred to as the "Garden of the Costa del Sol." The old town has been lavishly adorned with over 50 large-scale murals, thousands of flower pots, and an orchid house, providing a colorful contrast to the white facades of the houses. German tourists seeking authentic Andalusia will find a place here that, despite its location between Marbella and Gibraltar, has preserved its Spanish character. The 21-kilometer coastline offers both lively city beaches and quiet, unspoiled sections, while the new beach promenade "Senda Litoral" invites for extensive walks along the sea. The modern marina, the lively tapas bars in the old town, and the proximity to the Sierra Bermeja mountains complete the offering.
