With an overall population of 37,000,
the 'old town', as it is known, is a bustling and atmospheric
centre.
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 hotels, restaurants,
leisure and 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, narrow streets seem more suited
to horses than cars. You'll also find unusual shops
and bodegas in Estepona, where you'd least expect them,
all very inviting, very friendly - and very cheap!
