You’ve just arrived in Estepona, either in your own or a rented car and you want to look for a car park. Well, don’t worry. Here are some tips for parking in this town, since like in any part of the Costa del Sol, it is more difficult to find a car park in Estepona depending on the season and respective visitor numbers. So, with our patience poised, off we go.

 

Street Parking

The task becomes more complicated depending on the zone in which you want to park. The old town is the most complicated; its charming streets may be beautiful, but they are too narrow for parking. However, the newer areas of town have wide streets and you can park on most of them on both sides.

 

Promenade Car Park

Thanks to its privileged location, its pedestrian accesses allow you to quickly reach the town centre and spectacular renovated old town, where you can take a lovely stroll, do some shopping and enjoy the local cuisine. The car park has 200 spacious parking spaces and you will find it open and monitored via CCTV 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

La Viña Car Park

Parking in Estepona is not much of a problem, you just need to be lucky or patient, like in any other town or city. But if you are neither and in the Huerta Nueva area, you can count on the Las Viñas public car park.

The facilities have a total of 415 spaces and two independent entrances and exits, as well as three pedestrian accesses.

Plaza de Toros Vicinity

If you are going to visit the museums on Plaza de Toros or you want to take a walk around the marina, you have two good options. The first and most economical one, since it is free, is to look for parking around the area near Plaza de Toros, where it is very easy to find a space during the day and there is also a rather large levelled area that serves as improvised parking spaces.

Private Marina Car Park

What you need to know about the marina car park is that, because it is in an area that receives a lot of visitors and has a lot of night life, when night falls and even in the afternoon at the weekend, the traffic can become complicated at some points given the concentration of people, but this does not mean that it’s not possible to drive around, but rather that at some point you’ll need to slow down considerably.

Know the Areas

• Historic Center: This area is very busy, and parking is usually limited. However, several underground parking lots are available, though they typically require payment.
• Port Area: This can be a good option for parking if you plan to visit the promenade or marina. Paid parking lots are also available here.
• Underground Parking: Estepona has several underground parking facilities, such as those at Plaza Antonia Guerrero, Plaza de las Flores, and La Viña Parking.

• Online maps: Google Maps or Waze can help you locate parking and assess the traffic situation in real-time.

Alternatives

• Public transportation: If finding parking is too difficult, consider leaving your car in a more distant area and taking a bus or taxi to your final destination.
• Bike or scooter rentals: Estepona is a fairly accessible city by bike or scooter, which can be a convenient alternative for getting around without worrying about parking.

Respect the Rules

• Avoid fines: Make sure to obey traffic signs and parking regulations to avoid fines.
• Blue zone: If you park in a blue zone, remember to pay for your ticket and keep an eye on the time limit.

Parking at Hotels
