Tracey shares her personal journey to Estepona, highlighting the safety, community spirit, and the town's bustling calendar of free cultural events as key factors that make it an attractive destination. Estepona’s charm is further enhanced by its title as the "Garden of the Costa del Sol," thanks to its vibrant natural landscapes and meticulously maintained public gardens.

Tracey explains the trends in local real estate, including the high demand for properties in the old town, and offers insights into what makes Estepona a compelling market for both local and international investors.

For those considering property investment, Tracey recommends focusing on properties with unique features like exceptional views or large terraces. She also touches on government schemes aimed at making homeownership accessible to locals, despite the rising property prices.
