Somewhere along the Costa del Sol, between the sea and the mountains, sits Estepona, often called the “Garden of the Costa del Sol.”�And it truly lives up to the name. The old town is lined with colorful flower pots, bright streets, and carefully kept corners that feel both intentional and authentic. It’s one of those places where beauty feels intentional. Over the years, Estepona has blended its traditional Andalusian charm with seaside promenades, art murals, and open-air sculptures,  while still holding onto its fishing-town roots. You can feel it in the relaxed plazas and in the dramatic backdrop of the Sierra Bermeja mountains. Estepona blooms not only in its streets, but also on its plates, fresh, local, simple flavors that perfectly end a day by the sea.

Located between the mountains of the Sierra de las Nieves, Istán is a small white village with breathtaking views over the valley and the coast beyond.�To get here you follow winding mountain roads that already feel like part of the experience.
Often called the “Spring of the Costa del Sol,” Istán is known for its fresh mountain water, Moorish roots, and peaceful rhythm of life.�Stone streets, whitewashed houses, and the sound of water flowing through the village make it feel timeless. #travel #spain #malaga #visitspain #spain❤️

One of my favorite ways to understand a town is through its municipal market. It’s where you’ll find authentic Spanish food and fresh fish, local cheese, olives, and seasonal veggies, all in one place. If you want to experience Spain beyond restaurants, this is where to begin. #spain #travel #foodie #spanishfood #marbella

Málaga is one of the oldest cities in Europe, with more than 2,800 years of history layered into its streets.
The Cathedral rises above the historic center, known locally as La Manquita, unfinished, yet deeply loved.
As you walk through the old town, balconies, sculptures, and worn stone facades tell quiet stories from Roman, Moorish, and Andalusian pasts.
Everyday life here is just as important as history: handmade pastries, local ice cream, and small shops keeping traditions alive.
The streets stay lively,
filled with conversation and movement,
until the day naturally ends when people gather
at tapas bars, sharing fresh food, wine,
and laid-back moments.
