Estepona

Estepona is a beautiful small spanish town on the Costa del Sol just 45 minutes drive away from Malaga airport. There are numerous small bars and resteraunts dotted around the town as well as supermarkets. Probably the best one to go to would be the enormous Carrefor hypermarket on the east side of town. But the best part of Estepona is the vast expanse of sandy beaches. There are over 20km of award winning beaches with their own beach bars and resteraunts.

Marbella

The main shopping city this end of the coast, with european banks, fashion shops and much much more. There is also a small port where you can take a picturesque boat ride to the world famous Puerto Banus.

Puerto Banus

The playground of the rich and famous. Often referred to as Spain's version of Monte Carlo. This marina plays host to some of the most impressive yachts and exotic cars on the Costa del Sol. As such, the shopping is slightly different, with designer label shopssuch as Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci. It's also home to some of the most exclusive night life on the south coast with the best all night clubs and bars on the southern mainland coast.

Puerto La Duquesa

Referred to as the 'New Golden Mile', Duquesa is very much like Puerto Banus, but on a slightly smaller scale. There are numerous resteraunts and bars dotted about the marina and is very popular with the British tourists for its energetic nightlife.
