Plaza de las Flores

Plaza de las Flores is a large pedestrian square in Estepona's historic centre, considered the heart of local life and the ideal starting point for exploring the old town. The square is dominated by a large central fountain and a garden full of flowers, which gives the square its name and reflects the local tradition of hanging flower pots on balconies and façades, awarded annually by the town council since the 1960s. Surrounded by imposing 19th-century houses and public buildings such as Casa de las Tejerinas (with its 18th-century façade) and the tourist office, the square has witnessed the city's history, having had at least six different names depending on the political power of each era. In addition, archaeological excavations carried out between 2013 and 2016 uncovered, beneath the square, an Andalusi suburb with an Almohad tannery and a Nasrid pottery kiln, the findings of which were published in 2020.
