Not to miss

The Estepona Marina

The marina is a hub of activity: yachts moored here warrant a stare to check out how the other half live, but the marina is also the nightlife centre in Estepona. Bars and restaurants line the waterfront and true to Spanish style, after midnight, nightclubs materialise from behind hidden doors and the beats pump until dawn.

Torre del Reloj (Clocktower)

Originally a Muslim mosque destroyed during the conquest of the Castilians (Catholics) in the 15th century, the Torre del Reloj (watchtower) was rebuilt as a church. Various features such as the neoclassic dome have been added by its numerous and diverse owners, which all contribute to an aesthetically pleasing, historically interesting, town centrepiece.

Selwo Aventura Safari Park

The safari park is Estepona's main attraction. Based on an African game park, 2000 animals including bears, antelope, zebras and big cats live in near-wild habitat. They are well cared for, and ecological research goes on here too. You can take a organised safari truck through the park, or take a walkway to view the animals.
