Estepona, on the western side of the Costa del Sol, which includes some highly sought-after residential areas, including the New Golden Mile, Selwo, El Paraiso, Seghers and of course the charming old town. Estepona is also known for having 17 beaches, spanning 21kms of coastline, dotted with beach clubs and there is a bustling working marina. The vibrant town centre offers a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels, and the buildings are awash with colourful potted flowers.

A long-term favourite amongst Spanish holiday makers, but over the last few extensive investment has widened its appeal, putting it on the path to eclipsing its more famous neighbour, Marbella, and increased demand for Estepona real estate. When you buy property in Estepona, you will also benefit from living in Malaga’s first low emission zone, with the longest promenade in southern Spain.
