Guide to Estepona
The New Golden Mile: over 320 days of sunshine a year, a charming Old Town and a quieter side of the Costa del Sol.
About Estepona
Estepona, situated on the Costa del Sol, is a great place to consider for your Spanish home. With more than 320 days of sunshine a year, good weather is virtually guaranteed. The resort is a little quieter than some other resort towns in Malaga such as Marbella, the area has managed to maintain its character and charm. Estepona, fondly known as the New Golden Mile, has retained more traditionally Spanish areas and has many excellent tapas restaurants. The popular Old Town is a lovely.
Currently, in and around Estepona there is a variety of property available to suit most buyers requirements and budgets. With many places to visit in and around the beautiful Spanish town, come and take in the beautiful flowers that are displayed in the streets. There are great hikes and cycle routes in stunning mountains and valleys that surround Estepona.
It is hard to believe that this enchanting, Spanish village is only nine miles from the hustle and bustle of the coast and somehow succeeded in avoiding becoming overly focused on tourism. Caseras really is an up and coming area and buyers are advised to explore here for value for money properties before they all go!
Currently, there are some excellent value for money properties available within this area. There are new developments with 2-3 bedroom apartments starting from 90,000 Euros. These also include storage and parking which is a real steal in Spain. Many properties are only a short walk to the beach and bars and restaurants which is a sought after request from many of our Clients.
Casares is a pleasant white village to stroll around. Visit Blas Infante birthplace, Iglesia de San Sebastian, near the square or climb up via Puerta Calle Arrabal, to the Castle, ruined church, Iglesia de la Encarnación now Centro Cultural Blas Infante, old cemetery. There are also number of signed walks just outside the village.
Further afield there are beaches such as the Playa de la Sal which allows dogs and are beautiful and well kept. There are also golf courses in Casares and neighbouring towns.
