Dolphin Boats in Estepona


The easiest way to see dolphins in the area is to go to the port in Estepona town and hire a small boat for a few Euros. Forget going on the commercial tourist routes and use your Spanish to hire from an owner or fisherman here on a sunny day even in Winter time.

In the port there are also a few good bars, including Duende (where you can also watch Flamenco dancing and guitarists) and the tapas bars near the docks are really cheap and real Spanish food. Ask for a caña, a small third pint of beer to go with it.

Ronda

I went to Ronda at the weekend. Here´s a link to the bullring and museum as it is the 225th anniversary and the museum is running a special expo for only a Euro entry. It costs only 4.45 Euros to go there from San Pedro on the bus and takes an hour, leaving at 9.25am and returning at 8pm. You can see the best mountain views from here. There are many other activities and places to see. Recommended is the New Bridge (Roman views) and Museum of Ronda. You can go to the "Hotel Enfrente Arte to have the Doctor Fish treatment which is a pool filled with tiny fish that eat the skin from your feet!

You should also have tapas with a caña, a small beer, which will work out at about 7 or 8 Euros. The food is more fatty and less oily with less tomatoes than the food on the coast but you can have a bull steak here! If you are vegetarian, you are probably looking at eating potatoes with allioli and salad. The cod with tomatoes is good.

You can visit the Mondragon house and take a walk down into the gorge here. You can also visit the Wine Museum, which is 4 Euros entry with a free glass of wine.
