Malaga to Estepona and Marbella: Private day trip

Lying on the coast of the Mediterranean, Estepona is a popular spot for many travelers. The city is renowned for its marvelous beaches and equally attractive promenades. However, it would be a shame to stick to the sand as there is much more the town has to offer. The historical center featuring distinct architecture of little white houses is there to satisfy those, who decided to give up sunbathing and swimming for a moment. The remains of San Luis Castle from the 15th century should not escape your attention either. However, wherever you'll find yourself, a great espresso and local fish will be always a few steps away.

Having been home to Phoenicians, Romans, and Visigoths, the town rose in prominence under Moorish rule, eventually becoming their most important coastal possession. Even today, their presence can be felt in the city, be it the tower from their 9th century citadel, or the Arab kings who still own property here. The prestigious Puerto Banús is the waterfront strip, which welcomes some of the most luxurious yachts into the world, to allow their owners access to the luxury developments, and premium business. At the heart of the nearby historic city center is Renaissance Plaza de Los Naranjos, which is flanked by stately buildings such as the 16th century City Hall and 17th century Chief Magistrate's Office. There are also remnants of Roman rule, such as the Paleochristian basilica of Vega del Mar, the baths of Guadalmina, or the villa of Río Verde.
