Estepona Old Town
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon allows for pleasant temperatures and softer light for photography. Spring offers the best floral displays during the festival time.
Budget tips
Walking around the old town is free; save money by visiting during the Floral Festival when many street events are free. Avoid pricey restaurants in the main plazas and opt for tapas bars on side streets.
