THE TOWN OF ESTEPA

 

Estepa (population approx. 12500) is a strikingly attractive and affluent town situated in the SW of Sevilla province, virtually in the centre of Andalucia. 

It is famous for producing the Spanish Christmas delicacies of mantecados and polvorones and in the build-up to Christmas the air is rich with the mouthwatering aroma of baking almonds and chocolate. 

The town is bursting with historic monuments, hidden plazas, towers, churches, convents, palaces and beautiful architecture and its cobbled streets are a delight to explore.

 

Semana Santa in Estepa has been declared of National Turistic Interest and is not to be missed, especially the silent, candlelit procession of El Calvario that files past this very house on Miercoles Santo.

All facilities for daily living are within walking distance of the house: shops, post office, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, banks, schools, health centre etc. Estepa's sports facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, football pitches and tennis courts.

 It is handily located near to the A-92 with Antequera (50km), Cordoba (80km), Malaga (90km), Sevilla (110km) and Granada (130km) all within easy driving distance. 

There are regular bus services to Sevilla and Malaga and the new AVE train station at Puente Genil is only a 15min. drive away, with high speed trains to Madrid, Barcelona etc.

 

 

Some points to consider please…

 

A move to inland Andalucia requires that some thought be given to the following so that you don’t waste time considering a property that might be unsuitable!

 

1. Inland Andalucia is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Hence the need for aircon and heating despite what you may have heard!

 

2. Estepa is a very Spanish town. Whilst there are some British expats living in the town, there is no “expat community”, no “Brit bars” or “Brit shops” 

(they are however just a 20min drive away in Fuente de Piedra, Humilladero, Mollina etc). 

English is not widely spoken but free Spanish lessons are provided by the Ayuntamiento.

 

3. The town has some steep, cobbled streets. If you would prefer a flat location then Estepa will not suit you.

Please note that the buyer will be responsible for obtaining an NIE number, 

their own lawyer's fees, notary fees, property purchase taxes etc. 

A 3000 euro deposit will be required within 7 days of an agreement to purchase, with the balance payable 

within 28 days or other reasonable period of time to be mutually agreed. 

This property is mortgage-free...if you need finance you will need to arrange your own mortgage. 

If you are unsure about the property purchasing process in Spain please take professional advice.

THIS PROPERTY WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL PERMANENT HOME 

OR THE PERFECT LOCK-UP-AND-GO HOLIDAY HOME!!!!
