| www.costadelsolinfo.net With an overall population of 37,000, the 'old town', as it's known, is quite a hive of activity. Estepona is one of the few coastal towns that, whilst providing tourist facilities, maintains it's original charm and character. The numerous street cafés and tapas bars still serve authentic Spanish delicacies. The hilly, cobbled, very narrow streets are more used to horses than cars. You'll find unusual shops and bodegas where you'd least expect them, very inviting ,very friendly and very cheap!
Estepona Marina is at the west end of the Paseo Maritimo - a delightful place to wander round, look at the boats, sit in one of the bars, have a meal and dance the night away. With perfect weather almost all year round, Estepona is the place for nearly every kind of sport and outdoor activity. Ticket To Ride organise sporting events and adventure activities for everyone from corporate parties to individuals. La Rada Beach is in the centre of Estepona's is the most popular. Chiringitos - beach bars, are scattered all over, serving traditional Paellas and fresh sardines, caught locally, or you can choose more familiar fare if you wish. The Paseo
Maritimo runs the full length of La Rada, separating the beach from the
town. The traditional stroll ("paseo") takes place here with
uninterrupted regularity every Sunday afternoon when the sun loses its
intensity.
