Los Llanos RESIDENTIAL CALM NEAR THE BEACH

What is Los Llanos?

Los Llanos is a residential area on the eastern side of Estepona town, occupying relatively flat ground between the old town and the New Golden Mile. It combines the convenience of being close to Estepona's centre with a quieter, more suburban feel and easy beach access.

The neighbourhood is well established, with a mix of apartment blocks, townhouses and some villas on larger plots. It is less touristic than the beachfront areas and more affordable than the golf developments, making it a practical choice for families and permanent residents.
