Steeped in history and culture the town remains unspoiled and future development is carefully planned to ensure the preservation of the town´s identity.

A small spanish town with, of course, it's own port (puerto de estepona),estepona, is a bustling and atmospheric centre. One of the few coastal communities that has succeeded in maintaining its pueblo charm and character, despite the onslaught of tourism, Estepona houses several street cafes and tapas bars that still serve traditional spanish delicacies and the steep, cobbled, narrow streets seem more suited to horses than cars. You'll also find unusual shops and bodegas, where you'd least expect them. All very inviting and very friendly.

With an overall population of 37,000, the 'old town', as it is known, encompasses all the tourist facilities, including hotels, sophisticated restaurants, leisure and cultural activities, and shops of all descriptions, while conserving its typical andalucian architecture, its peaceful squares and white houses adorned with plants and flowers.

The magnificent port area abounds with numerous restaurants, bars, discos and on sunday there is a 'tourist' market selling leather goods, moroccan carpets, jewellery and a whole host of other goods.
