Estepona, a town of about 45,000 inhabitants, is situated on the Western Costa del Sol between Marbella and Manilva at the foot of the Sierra Bermeja mountains, about 80 kilometres west of Málaga. Its location is so central that places like the Puerto de la Duquesa in Manilva, Puerto Banús and Marbella are within a short drive. Moreover, Málaga International Airport is only a 45 minute drive away.

Its mild climate and magnificent beaches have helped Estepona to become one of the most popular tourist destinations. Some of the best hotels and restaurants on the Costa del Sol can be found in Estepona and numerous well-known golf courses are located in close proximity. However, Estepona is not a typical tourist town as the town centre has preserved its old, typical Andalusian style of architecture and there are many little squares where people sit outside on a bench or outside one of the typical Spanish Cafés.
