Casco Antiguo is Estepona’s historic old town, a compact grid of narrow, largely pedestrianised streets between the seafront and the Sierra Bermeja foothills. It’s known locally as the “garden of the Costa del Sol” for its flower-filled balconies and window boxes, concentrated along streets such as Calle Real and around Plaza de las Flores, the old town’s main square. The town hall’s mural route runs through the old town too, with dozens of large-scale paintings on building facades as part of an ongoing public art initiative.<\/p>\n
The old town sits apart from the newer coastal urbanisations that dominate much of the Costa del Sol: buildings are low-rise, whitewashed, and mostly two to three storeys, following the street pattern that predates the tourism boom. It’s walkable to the marina, the town beach, and the Orchidarium, Estepona’s covered botanical garden near the bus station. The weekly street market and a mix of independent shops, bars and small restaurants along the pedestrianised lanes keep the area busy without the high-rise density found further along the coast.<\/p>\n
Property here is mostly resale townhouses and apartments in converted or renovated period buildings, rather than new-build developments \u2014 space is limited by the old town’s footprint, so stock turns over slowly and comes largely through resale and renovation projects rather than off-plan schemes.<\/p>\n

Daily life is walkable: market, shops, bars and the beach are all close by.<\/p>\n Prices have moved up over the past couple of years. Renovated or resale townhouses in the old town are currently running from roughly \u20ac350,000 up toward \u20ac850,000-\u20ac1,000,000 depending on size and condition, and new-build or fully renovated apartments are typically in the \u20ac440,000-\u20ac600,000 range. These are approximate current-market figures and should be checked against live listings, as the old town’s small, mostly-resale stock means individual prices vary a lot by street and building.<\/p>\n Yes \u2014 the old town borders the seafront area and it’s a short walk from the pedestrian streets to Estepona’s town beach and marina.<\/p>\n Very little. Most stock is resale \u2014 apartments and townhouses in existing period buildings \u2014 because the old town’s footprint leaves little room for new construction; buyers here are typically looking at renovation rather than off-plan.<\/p>\n Inte f\u00f6r det dagliga livet.
