Estepona is renowned for its beaches, which stretch along some 21 km of coastline, making it a popular resort and holiday destination but you'll still see more locals around than tourists. The town is helped by being surrounded by the sea and Sierra Bermeja mountains, which give Estepona its own a micro climate with over 325 days of sunshine per year.
Estepona Port and Marina is a working fishing port and features daily auctions for a wide variety of seafood. The port is also the location of the Estepona Sunday street market - a collection of stalls selling mostly textile and leather goods.
Estepona is not known for the "night club" culture found in some areas on the Costa del Sol, but it does have a wide variety of restaurants & bars, ranging from local Spanish cuisine to many places serving good seafood as you would expect. Many restaurants offer terraces allowing diners to eat outside during the late evening and most restaurants are located near the seafront, either along the main promenade adjoining the sea or along Calle Real.
The main food stores in Estepona are the large Carrefour complex at the edge of the town, a smaller Carrefour express store in the middle of the town and a number of Mercadona supermarkets.
We hope you like Estepona as much as we do.
