Estepona is an oasis not far from Málaga.

It is a typical Andalusian town with its white houses and many colorful flowers in pots and planters, giving you the sense that both the residents and the responsible authorities truly care about their city.

The atmosphere in the streets of the old town is incredibly charming. In between the many shops, there is a wide variety of restaurants catering to different tastes — from small places with crisp white tablecloths, to minimalist venues for those who prefer simple elegance. The traditional tavern has not been forgotten either. Each place has its own unique character, and together they create a streetscape so distinctive that it simply must be explored in its entirety.

When talking about the streets of Estepona, one must mention the “Ruta de Murales.” Twenty-five artists have been invited to decorate building façades throughout the city. With their individual talents, they have created unique works of art that influence the atmosphere of the entire town. It is highly recommended to spend a day following the “Ruta de Murales,” which also provides a wonderful overall impression of what the city has to offer.

Estepona offers a wide range of options to suit every taste. As mentioned, culturally and also in terms of sports and leisure, there is everything one could wish for — including golf courses, riding schools, marinas, and much more.

Many people choose to invest in a permanent home here, precisely because of the several well-renowned golf courses, allowing them to live close to their passion.

Others prefer to be near a large marina, where they can keep their boat or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere.

For those interested in equestrian sports, there are several large riding schools, including the Royal School of Equestrian Art – Escuela de Arte Ecuestre Costa del Sol – which is known among riders all over the world.
