The Spanish Charm of Estepona<\/h2>\n

\"Estepona<\/a>
\nEstepona is often called the Pearl of the Costa del Sol.
\n 
\nIn recent years Estepona has become more and more popular and people who have visited once always return.
\n 
\nAlthough there are many beautiful towns and villages situated on the Costa del Sol, Estepona would certainly win the prize for “the real Spain”<\/strong> and “the most attractive town”<\/strong>. Estepona truly IS very SPECIAL!!!!
\n 
\nEstepona is a lively yet peaceful Spanish seaside town, close enough to all the “hussle and bussle” on the rest of the Costa del Sol. Thanks to Estepona\u00b4s central location, other places like Marbella, Tarifa and Seville and even Africa can easily be reached.
\n 
\nPeople generally rate Estepona as the most relaxed and most charming holiday destination on the Costa del Sol. It is therefore no surprise that the people who have discovered Estepona over the last few years, feel very comfortable and in many cases decided to buy a (second) home here.
\n 
\nSince the property crisis Estepona has seen many new developments. Many new projects (urbanisations) are being build again , new restaurants, modern wine \u2013bars and beachclubs are opening its doors…
\n  <\/p>\n

\nEstepona
\n  
\nClean and Safe
\n 
\nMountains and Beaches
\n 
\nAn average of 325 sunny days a year
\n 
\nAuthentically Spanish with modern trends
\n 
\nGood tourist public and mixed hospitable population
\n 
\nPeaceful yet Dynamic
\n 
\nRelaxed Andalucia lifestyle
\n 
\nCentrally located and close to everything
\n 
\n30 Golf courses in the direct vicinity<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prejudice and Reality<\/h2>\n

\"Estepona<\/a>
\n 
\nNot without reason, the Costa del Sol is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe\u2026
\n 
\nFor many people Andalucia represents sun-sea and pleasure. The fact there are also beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers together with jungle-like forests and paths, is less known to the public.
\n 
\nAnd yet, the Costa del Sol is often (wrongly so) associated with prejudice:
\n 
\n“too busy”, “overcrowded beaches” and “endless holiday resorts full of high rise apartment blocks and hotels”…
\n 
\nWe were also sceptical and prejudiced when we started orientating ourselves on the Costa del Sol, especially just arriving from the paradise island of St-Maarten (Caribean).
\n 
\nBut what we actually discovered was quite the opposite!
\n 
\nLooking for beautiful places and intruiging cultures, we travelled and lived around the world, looking for a place where we felt at home. Estepona and Andalucia appeared to be ” A world of its own”.<\/strong>
\n 
\nWith impressive mountains, picturesque white villages and fascinating cities it would be difficult to find another place in Europe where you will find such a good mix to enjoy life to the fullest.
\n 
\nOnly a few hours by plane from any destination in Europe, a different world awaits you.
\n 
\nIn Estepona the sun shines as never before…
\n 
\nA warm life… in many ways!!!<\/strong>
