Tourist guide
The Estepona City Council announces the launch of an innovative mobile application that allows residents and visitors to discover the municipality's rich cultural, historical, and natural heritage in a sustainable and accessible way. Through the Aumentur app, available free of charge for iOS and Android, users can access nine digital guides with detailed information on the town's main points of interest. The platform offers content in four languages, including text, audio, images, videos, and 3D models.
Replacing traditional audio guides and paper brochures, this app incorporates smart technology that allows you to explore points of interest using GPS geolocation or QR codes, guaranteeing a more convenient and environmentally friendly experience. In total, nearly 300 points of interest have been geolocated, distributed across nine themed routes, including: charming corners, Estepona step by step (in 2 and 4 hours), the Sculpture Route, the Mural Route, the Poetry Route, the coastal path, Estepona's beaches, and nature trails.
Furthermore, the application is fully accessible, with specific adaptations for people with reduced vision, and keeps its content updated and optimized on a permanent basis.
Begoña Ortiz, the councilor responsible for the outlying areas, highlighted that this initiative “represents a step forward in the digital and sustainable transformation of tourism in Estepona, offering visitors a modern and attractive way to discover the city.” She also emphasized that the app “reduces paper consumption and promotes more responsible tourism.” This project is part of Estepona's Tourism Sustainability Plan, funded by the European Union's Next Generation EU funds.
To facilitate their use, the Municipal Tourist Office, located in the Casa de las Tejerinas (Plaza de las Flores), has installed information signs with QR codes that provide direct access to the guides. These will also be available in other municipal offices and tourist establishments. With this new tool, Estepona continues its commitment to innovation, accessibility, and sustainability, consolidating its position as a smart destination dedicated to the visitor experience.
