If, however, you are seeking rest and relaxation, Estepona is the perfect choice. The pace of life here is more gentle than many of the other Costa Del Sol resorts and the restaurants are excellent and varied with choices to suit all palettes. Due to its geographical location, Esteponan cuisine is distinguished within the traditional offer of Andalusian cuisine by its clear preference for fresh sea produce. Some of the most typical dishes in Estepona are "country soup" representing the men who work the land, and "barbecued sardines" offered traditionally at the popular "moragas" held on the beach. Another typical Esteponan dish is tile-baked sardines, or "sardinas a la teja". The area's prawns are also highly valued, as is the octopus, which is one of the most abundant species caught locally, not forgetting the highly esteemed red mullet. All these "marine delicacies" may be savored whilst enjoying the healthy and popular custom of "tapaing" in the typical inns and taverns spread along the streets of the old town centre of Estepona and the Fisherman's Port. The restaurants in Estepona district number more than a hundred, differing widely in their gastronomic offerings, from the region's very own Andalusian cuisine to the French haute cuisine, Chinese, Italian, Indian and of course the oft named international cuisine.
Steeped in history and culture the town remains unspoiled and future development is carefully planned to ensure the preservation of the town´s identity.
