Estepona is one of the few coastal towns that has succeeded in maintaining its pueblo charm and character, despite the onslaught of tourism. Notwithstanding, all the tourist facilities are here, including natural parks, restaurants, leisure, beaches, cultural activities and shops.
The flip side is that the numerous street cafes and tapas bars still serve traditional Spanish delicacies and the steep, cobbled. You'll also find unusual shops and bodegas in Estepona, where you'd least expect them, all very inviting, very friendly.
