From the Estepona website:
For this longer walk, you can now walk all the way from Playa del Cristo through the marina, along the beautiful boulevard, to the promenade that runs all the way from the end of the paved Paseo Maritimo boulevard until it ends at the statue museum at Playa del Angel. It’s a beautiful stretch and the walk continues.
Walk along Playa del Angel and then turn left among the orange trees. You will come to a footbridge. As you cross the road, pay attention to the old water wheel and aqueduct from the 1800s, a remnant from the time when sugar cane grew and needed irrigation.
After the footbridge, follow the yellow stone path, turn right again towards the sea and finally back along the coast.
You pass a number of beautiful residential complexes and the Kempinski hotel, along a very attractive area of lawns and gardens to Playa del Padron, via the new pedestrian bridge over the Padron River, to the lively beach clubs, bars, restaurants and Laguna Strand and shops.
This entire route from Playa del Cristo to Playa del Padron takes almost 2 hours.
85% of the entire route will be ready in 2020 – you can already walk it all the way around Estepona!
