Tourist Information

Estepona is a truly privileged town. Located on the western Costa del Sol it offers the visitor an unrivalled array of attractions. Glorious summers and mild winters make it the perfect holiday destination for the discerning traveler. The town has become a major resort thanks to its magnificent beaches and abundant sun and sand-related facilities and services.

The numerous street cafés and tapas bars still serve authentic Spanish delicacies. The hilly, cobbled, very narrow streets are more used to horses than cars. You'll find unusual shops and bodegas where you'd least expect them, very inviting, very friendly and very cheap!

Estepona port and harbour was built in 1977 and is of two parts. It is located a short walk from the town centre. Half is mainly fishing orientated, the other mostly sports and modern marina facilities. Here it is possible to rent a boat with or without a skipper. You can find companies offering dolphin spotting trips and fishing excursions. There are also many bars and restaurants to cater for all tastes. The port has direct sun most of the day. The port also has its own market on a Sunday. There is limited parking in the port; especially busy on Sundays for the market.

Steeped in history and culture the town remains unspoiled and future development is carefully planned to ensure the preservation of the town's identity. There are over a hundred restaurants in Estopona, differing widely in their gastronomic offerings, from the region's very own Andalucian cuisine to the French haute cuisine, Chinese, Italian, Indian and of course the oft named international cuisine. Any restaurant will offer you the familiar chilled tomato and garlic soup known as "gazpacho" and the renowned Malagan fish fry-ups, or "frituras", not to mention the salt-baked fish.
