When the sun sets over the Mediterranean horizon, in some parts of the urban centre a young atmosphere starts to flourish and then transfers itself to the port and, in the hours approaching dawn, ends up in the nearby discoteques.

The same as on the rest of the Costa del Sol, the most lively nights are on Fridays, Saturdays and holidays. The young people generally tend to go out first to the Calle Real district of the town. Here we can find a wide variety of establishments where the night can begin.

The Calle Real zone is where the greatest number of youngsters from Estepona and the surrounding areas gather between the hours of approximately 11.00 p.m and 2.00a.m., which is when most of the bars close and the journey to the port begins. We recommend you take a taxi to the port, which will cost you about 500 ptas. If you prefer it, you can walk along the promenade ('Paseo Marítimo') which ends very close to the port and takes approx. 15 minutes.

Estepona Port is, without doubt, the most lively nightspot in the area. Here we find a collection of disco-bars for all tastes. They normally open their doors around midnight until 4 o'clock in the morning. When the door closes it's time for the discoteques in the town, which reach their peak attendance between 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock in the morning. From the taxi rank in the port, one can take a taxi to one of the discoteques for approx. 500 ptas.

In the town there are two discoteques which share the mass of people: Disco Teatro, which is situated in Calle Caridad behind Calle Real, and the dicoteque NIAGARA in Avenida Juan Carlos. In continuation, you can consult our guide to get information on the most fashionable spots in Estepona.
