Destination guide

Estepona has hung onto its charm and personality

The resort town of Estepona lies along the sun-drenched Costa del Sol, in Andalusia. While many towns have suffered from rampant overdevelopment in the last few decades, Estepona has managed to retain its character and charm. It's a bustling place, characterised by pretty, whitewashed houses, flower-scented plazas and a network of shady, cobbled lanes. Nab one of the seafront Estepona holiday lets, perfect for couples or families, and you'll be within strolling distance of Playa de la Rada beach. There, you can while away the sunny afternoons, walk along the palm-fringed promenade and dine out at some town's best restaurants.

History

Many civilisations have left their mark on Estepona

It's believed that humans have been living along the Andalusian coast for more than 10,000 years, but it was the Romans, who settled in around 200 BC, who really started to leave their mark. They built roads that are still used today, along with bathhouses and public buildings that are still being excavated. Centuries later, the Moors landed on the southern Spanish shores and occupied much of the coast. They brought with them spices and recipes, which heavily influenced Andalusain cuisine. Christians captured the area in the late 15th century and began building churches and houses, many of which can still be seen near your Estepona holiday rental.

Getting around during your stay at an Estepona holiday rental

Most people fly into Malaga airport on the way to their Estepona holiday rental. The most budget-friendly way to travel from Malaga is on 1 of the direct buses that leave from outside the terminal building. If you're planning to explore more of Andalusia during your stay, your best bet is to pick up a car from a rental firm at the airport, which gives you the freedom to come and go at your own pace. Alternatively, there are several cab companies, should you need them. Getting around Estepona is a breeze and much of it, particularly the old town, is easily explored on foot.

Restaurants and bars

Humble tapas bars and terraced seafront restaurants

Estepona has got more restaurants than you'd expect, for its size. You can hardly turn a corner in the old town without passing a friendly tapas bar, where you can nibble on Andalusian bites while sipping on a chilled glass of Spanish white wine or local sherry. El Tipico is a local favourite and serves up small tasting plates of local queso and quality jamon. One of the most celebrated restaurants is Felix Brasserie, which tastefully combines Asian and European cuisines. Then there's Las Palmeras, which serves simple, fresh fish cooked just a stone's throw from the waters where they were caught, earlier that day. Don't miss a visit to Chocolate & Churros, which serves up a fine example of the spiral-shaped doughnut accompanied by oozing melted chocolate, for breakfast.
