Without a doubt, the Costa del Sol is one of the places with the best quality of life in Europe. The coast of Malaga, with places like Estepona, can claim to be an ideal destination for your holiday and to settle permanently. If you are thinking of a good place to settle, we will tell you some reasons why living in Estepona is a great idea.

Estepona, quality of life

One of the main reasons why Estepona is charming is that it has managed to grow and become a modern town without losing its Andalusian charm. In this way, the inhabitants of this city that was once a fishing village, enjoy a large number of services and leisure and entertainment options without the inconveniences of overcrowded coastal cities.

Estepona, Andalusian heart

The historical centre of Estepona is one of the many treasures that the town hides. You will love getting lost in its white alleys and walking among the facades decorated with multi-coloured pots. A beautiful postcard of a typical Andalusian town!

Among the most remarkable places in the old town, are the church of Santa Maria de los Remedios, the town hall, the remains of the Castillo of San Luis (a fortress of Arab origin) and the Clock Tower. Finally, the Plaza de las Flores, a pedestrian square full of life, is the heart of Estepona.

Leisure for all tastes

The population enjoys a rich cultural offer, with a large number of places of interest, such as the Dólmenes de Corominas site, the Ethnographic Museum or the Estepona Archaeological Museum. And if you like nightlife, you will enjoy the many pubs, beach bars and bars on the marina and the promenade. Children will also enjoy the varied options, and if you are a sports lover, you have a great opportunity to practice water sports and nautical activities.

Beaches and flavours of Estepona

Of course, the beaches of Estepona are a good reason to choose this small corner of Malaga. The best known is the La Rada beach, which stretches out along the promenade. It has a large number of services for having a drink and resting on the sand. Enjoy the views of the Rock of Gibraltar!

The Cristo beach is one of the best options to spend a day with the family. This small 600-metre long cove is protected from the wind and waves, and its waters are temperate. Other beaches that you will love include Galera beach, perfect for diving or surfing or, next to it, Bahia Dorada beach, to enjoy a quiet day.

Last but not least, the gastronomy is another reason to live in Estepona. The most popular dishes are representative of the rich cuisine of the Costa del Sol. So you can enjoy products from the land such as soup with tomato and vegetables, gazpacho or white garlic soup, and seafood such as the famous espetos or pescado a la sal (whole fish baked in a salt crust).
