  • 5/5 José Daniel D. 2 years ago on Google
    First of all let me tell you that Estepona is thousands of years old. Estepona dates back from the prehistoric times, actually there is a prehistoric dolmenic settlements called corominas. You can arrange a visit to the center in Los Pedragales natural park it's only 7 kilometres away. We have also a archeological museum in which you can see all the stages of Estepona development from the tartesus, iberians and celts until the arabic invasion where our current name comes from: Estebbuna. I can proudly state that I help to dig out the skeletons of that area. And I deeply confess that I am in love with this city. I strongly recommend you to visit San Luis castle in the very center of Estepona old town. There is also a peculiar orchidarium that contains hundreds of species of orchids. Did you know that vanilla is an orchid? You can not miss a walk around the city in order to behold the beauty and majesty of huge paintings on buildings spread out every single neighbourhood in Estepona. My favourite one is a girl playing with a hose pipe. You have to come and look it thoroughly if you want find it. You can visit Estepona and move around on bike, by car or coach. If you are a nature lover you can go hiking all the way up to Sierra Bermeja mountain that goes one thousand kilometres high, if you are lucky you can even have snow in winter. The paseo of Pinsapos pine trees is unique in the world because that mountain comes straightforward from the magma under the surface containing loads of iron, actually peridotita that makes it unbearable for plants to grow despite that, the wildlife has perfectly adapted to survive in that environment So, come and visit Estepona and you will fall in love with its people and its sunsets on its endless beaches and promenades. I am looking forward to seeing you,

    This is the original castle ordered to be built by Queen Isabella of Castille and her husband King Ferdinand. Not much remains, but it is well preserved, and inside the old market in the next street Calle Villa (the yellow and white building with ceramic plaques outside), you can see a model of what it was like. On Easter Saturday on both sides of the castle they act out some of the scenes from the town's outdoor Passion play - La Pasión según Estepona. You can read more about this in Google Maps, it is amazing.
