Discover Estepona

Estepona, in the province of Málaga, has a history dating back to Phoenician and Roman settlements. In Roman times it was known as "Estepona," meaning "place of the Esteponenses," and in the 8th century, under Muslim rule, it became a trade and farming hub, particularly known for its olive oil production. After the Reconquista in the 15th century it joined the Spanish crown and grew as a fishing village, until 20th-century tourism transformed it thanks to its climate, golden sandy beaches, and Andalusian charm. Today Estepona blends historical heritage with modernity, famous for its flower-lined streets, cultural festivals, and strong commitment to preserving its heritage.
