Andalucia in Flower also recognises this work of the municipalities who plant flowers, shrubs and trees throughout their towns, with Estepona in particular averaging up to a million plants each year.

Estepona is also spending €1.5 million this year in order to remodel 11 streets in the town which will include a focus on floral decoration.
