Discover the secrets of Estepona, the Garden of the Costa del Sol
Tour description
Estepona is a town with a village soul that has managed to preserve its fishing and agricultural roots, although in recent years it has also become one of the new fashionable towns on the Costa del Sol. Its beautiful streets filled with flowers, pots, trees and colors have earned it the nickname " The Garden of the Costa del Sol " or also " The City of a Million Flowers " as some media have called it. Estepona holds the record for being the municipality with the largest number of flower pots on its streets in all of Spain - there are more than 30,000 !
You can't leave Estepona without visiting its Botanical Orchid Garden , which houses the largest collection of orchids in all of Europe.
But that's not all. It's also the largest open-air museum in Andalusia, with more than 70 murals that transform many of its buildings into true works of art, including one of the largest murals in Spain. It's also a great open-air book, as you can stroll through its streets and delight in reading the verses of beautiful poems in several languages.
