Estepona does not enjoy the resounding fame of a coastal resort, being in the shadow of the famous cousins of Malaga, Marbella and Puerto Banus.
However, if you are looking for a quieter and more welcoming lifestyle with all the amenities and multiple cities on your doorstep, Estepona is definitely worth considering.
It is a wonderful city for immigration to Spain, full of old traditions and solid houses with snow-white walls; an enchanting coastal location between sea and mountains.
With year-round beautiful weather, close proximity to airports, a relaxed lifestyle and amazing cuisine, Estepona is fast becoming one of the most attractive destinations to buy property on the Costa del Sol.
All amenities and services for expats are concentrated here: shops, cafes, tapas bars, gorgeous beaches, a marina, as well as eight golf courses and seven museums.
Estepona, like Sotogrande, has become a place of choice for expat professionals who have been assigned to work in Gibraltar but do not want to settle there due to the high cost of living. So they choose Estepona and drive from here to Gibraltar every day.
For immigrants with families living in and around Estepona, the city offers an excellent selection of international schools, public schools and bilingual kindergartens.
Estepona is justly named for nature lovers.
The beaches that stretch for more than 20 km along the coast are truly fabulous, and two of them are awarded the Blue Flag.
Due to its unique location between the sea and the mountains, Estepona offers guests a very special, very healthy microclimate with more than 325 days of sunshine a year.
The cost per square meter of housing in the center of Estepona is only 2,200 euros.
