Estepona lives its streets – spring festival

Estepona Vive Sus Calles is back for its 2025 Edition, which runs from Friday, 28 March, to Sunday, 30 March 2025. It promises a fun, celebration of food, art, and entertainment.

The Estepona city council organises this annual extravaganza to bring residents and tourists together to enjoy the newly revitalized historical streets in the town. A packed programme of activities is offered for free.

Carlos Baute, the Venezuelan pop star, will perform at Plaza del Ajedrez on March 29th, 10pm. He’ll be delivering his Latin-pop vibe. Food lovers can savour the XIV Ruta de la Tapa, where 20 local eateries compete for the ‘Best Tapas’ prize across the three days. Pick up a ‘passport’ booklet from the Tourist Office to vote for your favourite tapa and win prizes. Sunday, March 30, brings the National Ham Cutting Contest ‘Trofeo Popi’ to Calle Real from noon to 4pm, showcasing the very best cured Spanish ham and the best professional cutters, slicing the thinnest ham free to try.

Families can enjoy a children’s party on Saturday from noon to 8pm at Plaza Augusto Suárez, featuring an ‘It’s a Knockout-style’ circuit with a mechanical bull and climbing wall.

Estepona Vive sus Calles is a lively celebration of community life that offers something for everyone. There are theatre performances, chess competitions, cheese fairs, flower power parties, fashion shows and an orienteering event. Estepona’s streets will be filled with spring party vibes from Friday, 28 March, to Sunday, 30 March.
