NATURE

The Sierra Bermeja mountain (1.449m) dominates the landscape surrounding Estepona with its impressive presence.

Its summit is reached through thick forests of pinesap, chestnut, pine trees and other native species of flora in this spectacularly beautiful spot.

Venison, wild boar, eagles and a large number of rodents and birds, both native and migrant, find their paradise in this natural habitat. From the top of 'Los Pedregales' Park you can contemplate the greenness of the valleys fed by the rivers and streams, the plots of land belonging to Estepona's farmers, the white of their houses, and how the tracks that descend from Sierra Bermeja meet at the town's main church.

Lovers of natural, green open spaces can enjoy walks and excursions discovering places of great beauty. Depending on the time of the year they can find ponds, areas covered in wild flowers, enchanted valleys, peaks with panoramic views over the Mediterranean and endless beautiful landscapes, unique to this privileged region.

Marine Ecotourisim
The Straits of Gibraltar are a geographic funnel where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean meet and mix, producing a number of different currents and phenomena which are worthly of observation. It is the dynamic movement of these currents which gives rise to the incredible biological wealth in both abundance and diversity, in an area which many species depend on for food, reproduction and development. Marine mammals are long distance migratory species which are forced to pass through the Straits on their travels. However, there are resident groups of dolphins that move around the coast of Estepona without ever leaving its waters and it is Estepona which offers the visitor a 98% chance of seeing dolphins when the weather conditions are suitable for sailing. There are companies and Trusts which in the winter and in the summer enable one to enjoy the unforgettable experience of watching and listening to the dolphins playing only a short distance from the coast.
