Estepona information
The coast continues to be upmarket until you reach Estepona,
about 30 Km west, which's a more or less spanish resort,
in as much as thats possible round here. It lacks the enclosed
hills that give marbella character, but the hotel and apartment
blocks which sprawl along the front are restrained in size,
and there is space to breathe. The fine sand beach has been
enlivened a little by a promenade studded with flowers and
palms, and away from the seafront, the old town is very
pretty. The fish market is definitely worth seeing, Estepona
has the biggest fishing fleet west of Malaga, the daily
dawn ritual in the port, where the returning fleets auction
off the fish they've just caught. From May onward, Estepona's
bullfighting season gets way in a modern bullring reminiscent
of a Henry Moore sculpture. At the beginning of July, Fe
Fiesta and Feria week transform the place.
The beaches beyond Estepona have greyish sands, and there're more greyish
developments before the road turns inland towards San Roque and Gibraltar.
