The Costa del Sol's quiet success story. Old-town gentrification done well, plus active new-build to the east.
Estepona has been the Costa del Sol's most quietly invested-in town over the past decade. The Plaza de las Flores and the old town's mural project drew international attention; the municipal investment in beach infrastructure, paseos and the orchidarium has lifted the town's daily liveability. The New Golden Mile, running east toward Marbella, hosts new-build family communities. Estepona Centro and the western beaches stay quieter and more local. Licensing here is increasingly restrictive in the old town's pedestrian streets but does not have a general moratorium. Glaser has covered Estepona since 2019.
