🌸 From Gibraltar to Orchidarium Estepona

When nature, technology, and a luxurious architectural design come together, it can be the perfect place. In the Orchidarium Estepona, you can learn more about the environment that surrounds us and see many types of plants and orchids. Starting the day at the Orchidarium and finishing at an Italian restaurant, tasting the best dishes on the menu, or eating the best pizzas. It is a route that every couple or family should take.

Orchidarium Estepona

In 2015, the Orchidarium Estepona was inaugurated. It is a greenhouse that seeks to exhibit and preserve more than 1300 types of orchids from all continents and more than 5000 species of plants. At first glance, the exterior of this greenhouse is impressive. Still, inside, it is a natural paradise that includes a lake, waterfall, and more than one exhibition floor.

The place has three glass domes, but one of these reaches 30 meters high, and the outer side walls have a metallic appearance to take care of the orchids from UV rays. The exhibition area is about 1000 square meters, with more than 15,000 cubic meters. The Orchidarium can contain more than 15 million liters within its space.

If you wish to have a quiet morning, learn about many orchids, and taste an excellent Italian lunch, you must visit the Estepona Orchid Garden. However, we recommend finding out the operating hours of the waterfall, because they do not keep it running all day.

El Rincon Toscano

To taste a typical Italian dish you no longer have to travel to Rome, you only need to drive less than 4 kilometers to find the real Italian food. The Rincon Toscano specializes in Italian cuisine, pizzas, Tuscan cuisine, and provide excellent service to any customer. If you thought there were no restaurants with an authentic taste of Italy, then you can walk to find it in the center of Estepona.

Most customers who have had the opportunity to eat at this restaurant, they recommend homemade pasta with any sauce you want, risotto and wood-fired pizzas. If you cannot consume gluten, it is not a problem because you can make a previous reservation, request your gluten-free dishes. There is no excuse for not having Italian food for lunch.

Ruta

The most significant contrasts of this road are the difference in landscapes. In the beginning, there is the only sea on the Mediterranean promenade in Gibraltar, but when passing through the Ap-7 motorways, only green mountains and slightly deserted roads are seen. We recommend that you always carry your passport because you will cross over to another country and take cash to cover the costs of tolls on the route.
