Estepona Marina
Estepona Marina is situated at the west end of the seafront promenade. This is a very pleasant place for a stroll and there are some magnificent boats moored here.
There are also a wide variety of excellent bars and restaurants, open both midday and in the evening while younger revelers can enjoy the late night disco bars. There is a popular tourist market here on a Sunday morning.
The fishing port is located to the west of the marina. Here you can watch the fishing boats land their catch. This can take place throughout the day, but is generally during the early morning, mid afternoon, and late at night.
It is not possible to buy fish but you can watch the auction process (as long as you don't get in the way) which is followed by the covering of the fish pallets with ice and loading them into the insulated vans for distribution to local suppliers.

The large and small fishing boats are located in the fishing port adjacent (east) to the marina. Watch the catch landed, iced, sold and transported away. Try the excellent fish restaurant here.

A SUGGESTED WALK AROUND THE OLD TOWN
Park the car in the underground car park under the seafront promenade and walk through to the pedestrianised Calle Real. Where this road crosses Calle Terraza is a good starting point.
The Café Central on the corner is one of the town's most popular cafés. It is commonly known locally as the Manicomio or 'mad house' presumably referring to a building that once stood on this site. Take a look at the old photos of Estepona on display here. If there has been a recent town event or procession, photos of this will probably also be on display.
If time permits, have a look at the shops on Calle Terraza and Real, and stop in at one of the traditional bars on Calle Caridad for an ice-cold fino (sherry) and tapa.
Walk up to the attractive Plaza de las Flores. On one side is the Casa de la Cultura, a cultural centre maintained by the town hall. Have a look inside, as there may well be an art exhibition being held by a local artist.
Walk west to view the Clock Tower, the municipal market, the old town hall and the Castle of San Luis before heading down the hill to the seafront promenade.
