Estepona

A genuinely Spanish town that has transformed over the last decade — flower-filled streets, a working marina and a fast-growing new-build market.

Buying in Estepona

Estepona has changed more than anywhere else on the coast in the last decade: flower-filled streets, an eleven-kilometre boardwalk, a restored marina and a new-build market that has moved from cautious to confident. It remains a working Spanish town rather than a resort.

The lifestyle

Breakfast in the plaza, the fish market at the port, and an old town that fills with locals rather than tour groups. The New Golden Mile runs east from town towards Puerto Banús, with beachfront developments and beach clubs along its length.

Local highlights

Old town: Whitewashed streets planted with flowers, and one of the best-restored centres in Andalucía.
The boardwalk: Eleven kilometres of paseo from the marina to the New Golden Mile.
New Golden Mile: The coast's most active new-build corridor, between Estepona and Puerto Banús.
Golf: Valle Romano, Estepona Golf and Finca Cortesín within twenty minutes.
