Chef Mark and yoga teacher Loretta live in West London and have been together for 15 years after meeting in her native Australia. They’re looking to find their perfect property near Estepona on Spain’s Costa del Sol. They have £200,000 to spend and Craig Rowe has five properties lined up, will any of them be the dream holiday home they’re looking for?
About the area
Estepona is on the Costa Del Sol in southern Spain – to get there, you can fly into Malaga which takes around three hours from the UK - then it’s about an hour’s drive.
Estepona is one of the most cosmopolitan parts of Spain, with more than 100 nationalities living in the town and the surrounding area – and even though it’s a hugely popular place with holidaymakers due to its 13 miles of beaches and lively shops bars and restaurants, the town has managed not to become too built up and has kept its traditional architecture – and charm.
