The Ultimate Guide to Estepona Old Town

Estepona Old Town is the most charming historic centre in the Costa del Sol.

There’s beauty in every corner of this Andalusian town – its cobblestone streets, coloured coordinated flower pots, lively squares surrounded by plants and fountains in the middle and sculptures.

Whether you want to know what things you can do in the old town of Estepona, where to eat or stay, I’ve compiled everything in this story.

Things to do in Estepona Old Town

Do a self-guided tour of the historic centre Each street is decorated with flowerpots of different colours and these flowers, against the neat white-painted buildings, make them so picturesque.

Stop by Plaza de las Flores

Plaza de las Flores (Flower Square) is the liveliest square in Estepona. It’s the meeting point for locals and tourists.

See the Castle Ruins

During your visit to the historic centre of Estepona, you might want to add Castillo de San Luis. There is little to see from this Medieval fortress, only part of the walls.

Visit Estepona Orchid House

As its name suggests, it’s a botanical garden with a wide variety of orchids from around the world. I love that you’re surrounded by beautiful tall trees and flowers.

Check out Plaza del Reloj

It’s a pretty quiet square compared to Plaza de las Flores as there aren’t any shops or restaurants around, but you can see a gazebo and the clock tower, which is very important for the locals.
