Today you can encounter 7 ruins of watchtowers along the beaches of Estepona. These are either Castilian or Muslim in origin and helped form the defence of the coast well into the 19th Century, and proved effective in holding off attacks from pirates that came from North Africa and Turkey.
They are all located in the Estepona bullring and open from 09.00 to 15.00 Monday to Friday and from 10.00 to 14.00 on a Saturday all year round. There is no admission charge.
August 15th - various events are organized for the enjoyment of visitors including competitions, stalls selling souvenirs and gifts, singing, music, dancing.
Most shops are situated in the town centre of Estepona on ‘Calle Real’ and ‘Calle Terraza’. If like me you have a love for clothes and shoes then you’ll enjoy shopping in Spain. Estepona has some charming boutiques selling fantastic clothes at reasonable prices. Shoes are a good buy as Spanish leather made shoes are good quality and well priced. In general leather goods are reasonable and in the sales you can pick up some excellent bargains. Also, in Estepona there are a good number of craftsmen who work with pottery, commissioned woodwork, marble sculpture, iron forging, metal furniture, tapestry, etc.
La Cañada is probably the most popular Shopping Centre in Marbella, there is also free parking. Shops like Fnac, Salsa, Guess, Guess Kids, Kiko MakeUp, SKINC & Dreisog Surf. There is also the biggest Apple Store in Spain. Alcampo is still by far the best Supermarket which sells everything under one roof and the nearest thing to the Tescos & Sainsburys. There is also a large DIY store - Leroy Merlins and lots of restaurants to choose from.
- Saturday morning at the Bullring. This has to be my favourite market as it is an interesting place to wander around and great to pick up a bargain or a holiday gift. Selling Moroccan goods, crockery, linen, clothes, leather goods, jewellery, ‘designer’ sunglasses, handbags etc.
