What is El Padrón / Las Lomas?
El Padrón and Las Lomas occupy the lush valley of the Río Padrón, stretching inland from the coast road into the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja. This is quintessential Andalusian countryside: orange groves, cork oaks, old stone bridges and the sound of running water. Country fincas and modern villas on generous plots are the norm.
The Río Padrón itself is a local treasure, with natural pools and waterfalls that draw hikers and families, especially in summer. Despite the rural setting, the coast is barely 10 minutes away, and the AP-7 provides fast connections to Estepona centre, Marbella and beyond.
