The town is sheltered on its northern side by the Sierra Bermeja mountains which reach 1,449m at their highest point, Los Reales. This gives it a unique sheltered climate which can be completely different from towns just a few kilometres away. This climate is a big attraction for it has an average temperature of 18.7º over the year. Golf is also a major attraction as there are 9 courses in this area alone out of over 45 on the Costa del Sol. Estepona also has a renowned Equestrian centre, should horses be your thing.
