Discover some local knowledge whilst on holiday in Estepona

It can be difficult to picture anywhere in Malaga without high rise hotels and blaring night clubs but the charming town of Estepona happily goes against all of these stereotypes. With fish markets filling the streets at six o clock in the morning and locals chatting merrily in the streets late into the night, Estepona holidays offer an insight into the ‘real’ Spain. Everyone in the town is eager to help you have the best stay and if you head over to the tourist office you can take advantage of the town tours which run every week. This is a fantastic way to learn all the nitty gritty details about your beautiful surroundings and to pick up some hints and tips for the rest of your stay.

Have your turn on the catwalk

The promenade in Estepona, often called the catwalk, runs the length of the sandy beach. Along here you’ll find a great range of restaurants, cafes and chiringuitos and beach bars which are all bustling with activity. There are a number of water sports centres that give pros and beginners a chance to take to the seas. If you’re looking for somewhere with a bit more peace and quiet keep walking until you feel like you’ve had enough, then walk a little further. Those extra few steps from where everyone else usually settles are rewarded with secluded spots that don’t come with the risk of volleyballs to the face. Alternatively, if you have your own transport, go even further along the coastline and find yourself a space without another person in sight.

Venture out on a day trip

When you’re in a beautiful area such as Costa del Sol, the number of places to venture out to for day trips are limitless. The nearby town of Manliva is home to some rather pungent Roman Sulphur Baths while Benalmadena is an even more traditional old Spanish town. A quick journey to Selwo Aventuro will keep the kids happy as they clamber aboard a camel or walk overhead lions and tigers.
