What is La Gaspara?
La Gaspara is a sprawling hillside area north of the AP-7, where country lanes wind through cork oak forests and large plots offer the kind of space and privacy that the coast simply cannot match. This is where buyers come for fincas, cortijos and contemporary country villas on land measured in thousands of square metres.
Despite the rural feel, the coast is only ten minutes away, and Estepona centre is easily reachable. The elevation provides stunning views down to the Mediterranean and across to the mountains of North Africa on clear days.
