Greetings from beautiful and partly sunny Estepona, highs 60 degrees!
We left beautiful Cordoba and made the easy three hour drive across Spain to the Mediterranean Sea and the Costa del Sol. We took the road less traveled as we weren’t in a hurry and saw some beautiful scenery.
If you remember, southern Spain had terrible flooding this fall and the signs of huge water run offs are evident.
Estepona is a beach/resort town known for an unbelievable promenade for walking and bike riding. Over 50 miles of trails mainly along the Mediterranean make for great walks, with not many hills.😎
This is another huge retirement area, mainly for the Brits. Thousands and thousands of condos along the Costa del Sol!
Can’t say I blame them, the weather here is spectacular!
Even with it being January, many of the restaurants are open and booming. It must be crazy here in the summer!
Estepona is the usual story, Romans, fishing village, Muslims, crusaders ect…
Unlike lots of city’s along the Costa del Sol, Estepona still has a fishing fleet that fish’s the Atlantic which is about one hour from here.
Fun time here, TGC only has me walking 18,000 steps a day. I’m getting off easy!
Fun place, you can see both sunrise and sunset from our balcony😎
Day trip to the Rock of Gibraltar tomorrow. Should be fun!
