If you are looking for a destination that has tradition, beauty, adventure and history, then Estepona is the place for you!
Found on the Costa de Sol, on the West Coast of Spain, with 21 Km of coast line to explore, it is easy to understand why Walt Disney first thought of this area for Euro Disney – later moved to France.
With its 325-day a year sunshine, due to its micro climate caused by the Sierra Bermeja Mountains, this really is a year round destination.
There is not a lot of information about the history of this area, but the ever present charm of the area, the working Harbour (where there are daily auctions for fresh sea food right off the boat!) and the casual residents, lends one to believe that this charming city has been around for a very long time. Influence and descendents from the Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs are found in Estepona. Few ruins are still visible, but there are archaeological deposits from the Roman Epoch. Prominent monuments, such as the Church of the Virgin of Remedies and the Tower of the Clock are great places to see, and while you are out site seeing, why not stop in at the grand properties on display, such as that of the Marquess of Mondéjar.
