A laid back old town, Estepona has a traditional feel. From our hotel, the H10 Estepona Palace, we could look out and see Gibraltar and Tangier. On either side of the hotel were hotel and apartments still being completed.
In town, there is a long promenade with flowerbeds, benches, on the beach restaurants and shopping.
Since the majority of tourists are heading to Málaga, it leaves a beautiful, non-commericalized beach for an actually relaxing vacation.
At the center of town is the Plaza de Flores, filled with orange trees and jasmine. This plaza has many benches to sit and relax as well as a few restaurants.
In the marina, there are great restaurants that serve all meals as well as really good coffee. If you are a fish fan, these restaurants are right off the docks and get the freshest seafood around, as well as have the largest selection of dishes.
Also at the marina is a old style lighthouse that is still is use. However, to walk to the lighthouse from the marina, you have to walk through the fish processing district (bleh - I recommend NOT walking through the marina).
Take a walking tour through the town - Estepona is a very traditional, old world Spanish town. Make sure to see the clock tower, the old castle, the Estepona bullring, and more.
