Estepona, the most beautiful city on the Costa del Sol

What is it like to live in Estepona? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

In one of the villages (we can say village as although it has stopped being a village, it hasn't lost any of its character) that has turned into a beautiful city along the Costa del Sol. A beautiful city, with not many citizens, excellent public services, very landscaped and clean, with an embellished old town, some very clean beaches and fabulous weather all year round. We have the best 5 star hotels on the Costa del Sol and the best beach bars. Friendly and warm-hearted people.

Was it difficult to find accommodation in Estepona?

Do you have any advice?

I rent rooms in Estepona for young students, but it's not difficult to find accommodation. But, that is only if you reserve a room, and you must do so at least 2 months before arriving.
