The Torre El Velerín is a historic coastal watchtower on the Senda Litoral near Estepona. It was built in the 16th century as part of a coastal defense system designed to protect against pirate attacks. From the tower, movements at sea were observed and warning signals were relayed to neighboring watchtowers. Its distinctive features are its round shape and elevated entrance. Today, the Torre El Velerín is a listed historical monument and a testament to coastal history.

Located on the waterfront promenade, this park features many sculptures. All are freely accessible and well-made. A visit is definitely worthwhile.

The tower is located in the Velerín neighborhood. Dating from the second half of the 16th century, it has a circular plan and comprises a room with a fireplace and a brick dome, a staircase, and a terrace. Some of these watchtowers in Estepona also feature a 19th-century guardhouse and machicolations pointing to the four cardinal directions.

It is mainly a walking path, where walkers have priority over cyclists. Good to get somewhere on a bike, but dull to ride (max. speed allowed is 10 km/h).

A very long route by bike, walking, or running. Great views, and along the way, there are places to grab a drink or a snack…

The beach is located in a vegetated area at the mouth of the Padrón River. There is an elegant hotel and several beach clubs nearby. In addition to the music and cocktails that you can enjoy here in the afternoon, you can also try high-quality local cuisine right on the beach. The beach itself is not great, and you can hardly go into the water without bathing shoes.

The old watchtower from the 16th century has been stylishly integrated into the grounds of the Kempinski Hotel in Estepona. Unfortunately, you cannot climb the tower.

The cycle path at Punta del Castor is a beautiful section of the coastal path Senda Litoral near Estepona. It offers a perfect combination of nature, sea views and modern infrastructure. This section is quiet and less crowded, the wooden walkway is not only a functional part of the Senda Litoral, but also a picturesque highlight. It is worth exploring this section by bike!
