SHOPPING
Thanks to
the agricultural and fishing activities that Estepona has developed throughout
its history, you can today still find various traditional craft objects
manufactured in Estepona and displayed in shops that form an important part of
what the town can offer the tourist commercially. As well as being able to find
numerous craft items, one encounters in Estepona many outlets offering the
latest trends in diverse sectors.
Above
all, in and around Calle Terazza are concentrated a large number of shops which,
together with all the others in the town, make Estepona an ideal place in which
to do your shopping. Also, at the entrance to Estepona in the Malaga to Cádiz
direction we have a Carrefour, one of the largest hypermarkets on the Costa del
Sol.
