Estepona is a lovely choice for a colourful old town. White façades and flowerpots give the lanes their character. Explore the centre, choose a terrace and then walk towards the coast. That combination of town and sea makes it a varied day out.

Things to do here
Stroll through the old centre and pause in the small squares and flower-filled streets.
Visit the Orchidarium if plants and unusual indoor spaces appeal to you.
Finish on the seafront promenade or La Rada beach.
Driving times are estimates from Vitania Resort in light traffic, excluding parking. Check your route before leaving; summer and rush-hour traffic can add time. A route may involve tolls.
Estepona
With children
A short town walk followed by seaside time works well with children. The Orchidarium offers a change of scene; check opening times and visitor conditions.
Make it your day
Estepona sits at the edge of the 45-minute area. The checked A-7 route took around 41 minutes; traffic, routing and parking can add time. The fastest route may involve a toll.
An unhurried itinerary
Keep the plan flexible: old town, lunch and a beach break. Check your route before leaving and avoid a tight appointment immediately after the return journey.
