The Area of Estepona

Estepona, Spain is located to the west of Marbella in the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja Mountains. Estepona, Spain is well known for its lovely beaches and tiny coves, which stretch along its coastline. At the western end of the Paseo Maritimo is Estepona’s charming port and harbour that is located only a short walk from town.

Estepona, Spain was traditionally a Spanish holiday resort with tourists from the north of Spain driving down for their summer holidays. Today, however, it attracts many tourists from northern Europe with a large ex-pat community choosing to live there permanently. This has contributed to a buoyant Estepona property market with people investing in Estepona villas and apartments, either close to the beach or in the foothills behind. There are many apartments in Estepona that are built front-line to the beach giving them beautiful views to the sea and direct access onto the beaches. The many buyers of Estepona property have contributed largely to the economy of the town which has totally reformed the infrastructure of the whole area.
