One of the most beautiful villages in Spain
Estepona is a seaside resort located on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain. A promenade lined with palm trees, the Paseo Marítimo, runs along the Playa de la Rada. Nearby are the restaurants and nautical facilities of Puerto Deportivo, as well as a fishing port and the cove Playa del Cristo. The old town, full of whitewashed buildings, is centered around the ornate Plaza de las Flores square, where the eclectic works of the Colección Garó are displayed.
Estepona is one of the privileged enclaves of the Costa del Sol, which offers visitors much more than sun and sand. Tourists can immerse themselves in the recently renovated old town of Estepona, one of the most beautiful in Andalusia, and discover a network of narrow, white streets adorned with pots laden with flowers. Walking and discovering, a few meters from the sea, the true essence of an Andalusian town, is a luxury. Estepona "Garden of the Costa del Sol" is a unique place for the visitor.
A little history..
The origin of Estepona is somewhat confused, but it seems obvious that it was the Phoenicians who made the place a center of commercial exchanges, they gave it the name of Astapa, Astabbunna or Alexthebuna.
Some historians relate Estepona with the Iberian people of Saldaba, also attributed to Marbella, others mention Cilciana as the origin of the city.
In any case, at a place called the Porrejon, there are ruins which are probably the origins of this first settlement. What leaves no doubt is the passage and domination of the Romans, the city which to maintain its loyalty to Carthage, was besieged by Lucio Marcio and had to surrender in the year 208 BC.
Later and after numerous clashes between Muslims and Christians (in the waters of Estepona, Alfonso XI fought a historic battle in 1342, a battle from which he emerged victorious.), the city was conquered by Enrique IV, under whose mandate was built the Castillo de San Luis, of which remains can be found in Calle Castillo in Estepona.
With some 600 inhabitants, Estepona received from King Felipe V a letter giving it the title of independent city, we find this letter in the municipal archives.
From that day Estepona grew as a city to its current location.
The historic center
The old town of Estepona is made up of small streets with still whitewashed houses, and retains the shape and charm of small Andalusian villages.
Since the town hall began modernization and beautification works in 2012, no less than 120 streets have been renovated in the old town of Estepona.The result is a magnificent renovation for the historic center of Estepona, this part of town is a network of narrow white streets decorated with flower pots.It is a delight for the senses, allowing you to enjoy the essence of a typical Andalusian fishing village.This is why Estepona is now known as the garden of the Costa del Sol, it is, without a doubt, a unique place for all visitors.
