Estepona, Costa del Sol

by Geoff_Wright - last update: Jan 13, 2004

Estepona has been occupied by the Phoenicians, the Romans and the Moors (Arabs). It was the Moors who occupied Estepona and Andalucia the longest. There are very few vestiges of those times left, just fortifications, walls and watch towers.

In 1456 Estepona was reclaimed by Spain from the moors and from this moment on the history of the town has been fully recorded.

 Hey nice yacht! Looking for a good place to visit in Andaluscia. Your tips and comments are very helpful.

 Good job Geoff! The fountain has no a specific name, it's know as "the fountain at the end of calle Real" ;-) I have just finished my Estepona page too. Merry Christmas!
