Estepona is part of the Costa del Sol, it is a municipality especially attractive for tourists during the summer but maintains a stable population throughout the year.Let's learn more about Estepona before reading how to get there.
Estepona is one of the westernmost resorts of the Costa del Sol, situated 80 km from Malaga airport. Located only 40 km from the strait of Gibraltar, next to the Sierra Bermeja mountain range and with more than 20 kilometres of beaches, Estepona has yet maintained more than any other resort on the western Costa del Sol a certain charm of an andalusian fishing village. The construction has not been as massive as in other places and visitors can thus find many charming corners in the historic centre and plenty of nature in the municipality.
Estepona has as well given special attention to certain more quiet exclusivity. Thus can be found in Estepona a surprising number of five star hotels and first class golf courses for wealthy tourists who prefer a high standard holiday away from the bustling and glitzy neighbor Marbella.
