Often referred to as \u2018the garden of the Costa del Sol\u2019, Estepona is known for its commitment to sustainability. Every year, the city plants hundreds of thousands of plants, grown in municipal greenhouses, throughout its streets.

This includes important sections of the Senda Litoral, which connects many communities along Spain\u2019s Mediterranean coast.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
