Home sweet home. We've lived in Estepona for over 3.5 years. We love it.

[@GFeintuck]

First visit was in 1975, chilled, hippie, quiet, camped on the beach…HEAVEN…no wish whatsoever to go back, 😫

[@andrewcdavies]

Why don't you want to go back?

[@Eitner100]

As a child I lived in Coín from 64 till 72. My stepfather bought a couple of acres in Torremolinos, but sold it unfortunately and bought 15 acres between Coín and Alhaurín el Grande, losing millions along the way. Nevertheless I had a great youth in Andalucia.

[@888ssss]

where did he get the money from ?

Muchísimas gracias por subir este vídeo de mi amada y querida ciudad he recordado muchas cosas de mi infancia 👍👍

Love Estepona been going there since I was a kid. My first visit was in 1989 and though it’s changed a lot since then it still retains that Spanish charm that hasn’t been ruined by commercialism

[@888ssss]

its been ruined now because they pedestrianised all the main roads.

[@barneyffc]

@@888ssss I was shocked at the change when we were there last week. I see they’ve started the second segment of digging up the road now. Even though it’s a lot quieter and less cars. I can see the pros and cons.

No concessions for British tastes? You mean no brown sauce and chips? How outrageous 🤣🤣

It was the 70's!!

[@doktoruzo]

2 weeks high season with full board for £146, equivalent to £840 in today's money (2020)...good value?

[@Amandaclody]

holidays abroad were only for the middle class, and rich then

[@perihelion7445]

As life should be. Beautiful 👍

[@seanpennatgmail]

Maria was born in 1885!

[@aidanwilson6035]

Or possibly 1884 as this footage would of been recorded in the summer of 1977 !.

[@doktoruzo]

she just had her 135th birthday, last week!

[@PoshLifeforME]

99 year old gypsy who lived where her mother lived, in a cave. Oee I felt a shiver, don;t tell me I'm cursed!

[@dorissiverios]

Wuow muy bonita Estepona

[@zebedep]

I love Estepona

[@JamesTilsley1]

That woman was born in 1885 😮

[@andyt8216]

I think about when I was born in 1975 there would be so many people born in the 1800s and the reign of Queen Vic around.🤯

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

some of the horrors of tourism... and still, authenticity survives

[@edwardcooper5479]

Meester faulty

[@888ssss]

it was ok before they joined the eu.

[@MarioPerez-gl3xt]

Spain at that time was a dictator ship with people being murdered by Franco's fascist power. It seems that it wasn't that important for people having nice holidays there. Fascits symbols appear also in some moments of the video and no mentions for the political and social Spanish situation are made either... Who cares as long as Sangria and good food were cheap, din't it ?

[@888ssss]

get of of here 'che' and take your communist garbage with you.

[@sarahlouise7163]

why is any of that the fault of tourists?

[@rogermoore27]

A gypsy? I thought gypsies were nomadic.

[@888ssss]

spanish gypsies are from pakistan. originally.
