Tourist Day 

As in previous years Estepona’s Tourism Department has organised a programme of activities to celebrate the “Day of the Tourist”, which will take place on Sunday, 3rd August.

Among the activities will be the presentation of flowers to visitors which will be handed out through the streets of Estepona by this year’s Feria Queens and their attendants. This will take place between 11 am and noon.

During the morning there will also be an opportunity for visitors to enjoy a guided visit to the local museums as well as the Corominos prehistoric burial site interpretation centre.

Visitors can also take advantage of the special price available on this day for the dolphin trips which depart from Blue Dolphin Beach Bar during the day.

New this year is the inclusion in the programme of a special deal for visitors to Selwo Nature Park where you can enjoy the magnificent experience of an African safari with over 2000 animals to see. 2 can enter for the price of 1 when you present the Tourist Day Leaflet at the ticket office on the day.

And finally to round off the day there will be a Grand Night of Flamenco on the Playa de la Rada beach, which will commence at 8.30 pm, and includes performances by the Municipal Dance Academy under Eva Alarcón, the young singer Ana Mena, the Isabel Ortega Dance Academy, the grand magician Luigi, the Municipal Ballroom Dance Academy directed by Marivi Rodriguez, the singer Ana Cintrana and Ana Fragas accompanied by Francisco Javier Jimeno on guitar and Chico Fargas on percussion.

Rafael Montesinos, the Councillor for Tourism, hopes that “those tourists who visit Estepona will enjoy the town as much as the local residents do, and that they will take home with them a pleasant memory of the municipality”.
