The heart of this gorgeous little town is its Old Town, which is just like a garden! It's called "The Garden of the Costa del Sol" for a reason: because it is filled with flowers all year round. And especially in the gorgeous little streets and plazas in the centre of town. It all started in about 2012 when they needed to do something about the water supply to some of the streets in the Old Town, which involved digging up the streets. "How about instead of putting down more tarmac, we put down pretty cobbles or pebbles?" said one person. "We could take away the parking too, thereby opening up the streets", said another. "Or even just plan a few drive-through routes, and make the rest of them pedestrianised", was another contribution. "People whitewash their houses regularly, and many people have a few pots. How about having a planned display of pots, co-ordinating the colours and the flowers, and setting up apprenticeships in gardening to have youngsters learning how to look after the plants?". And so the beautiful heart of Estepona was born! There are over a hundred of these renovated and decorated streets and plazas. In a dozen places, a tumble-down house has been bought by the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) the space cleared, and a charming little square built with a fountain, a bench, and pots. In other places, a whole street has changed out of all recognition as people can now sit outside, chat with neighbours, watch the municipal pot-waterers on their rounds with huge cisterns on wheels! You can stroll at leisure, turning here and there, every corner shows another beautiful street. It's just gorgeous!
