Foreign Residents' Day
An annual event in April to foster community among residents from different nationalities. Food, culture and activities reflecting the diversity of Estepona's international community.
Foreign Residents' Day is held every year in Estepona, in April. The aim is to bring together and foster community among the citizens of different nationalities who live in the city.
The event is an opportunity to discover the culture of each participating country and sample its food. Estepona has one of the most diverse international resident communities on the Costa del Sol — citizens from over seventy countries — and this event reflects that reality in an accessible format for everyone.
A window into the multicultural Estepona that most visitors rarely discover. Particularly interesting for those considering moving to the city.
