Fine by the sea and just as good in the hills behind it.

Hello, we’re Ann and Frederik

We keep these notes from our holiday home in Estepona, on the western Costa del Sol.

Places on the coast are close to the house. Places farther inland are day trips, and each note says how far they are. Some we have been to many times, others are still on our list.
