Yes, the vast majority of the route runs along paved streets and standard city sidewalks, so it is accessible for people with reduced mobility. Just keep in mind that it is an urban walk and there may be some natural slopes in the streets.
You are very close to other gems. Do not miss the spectacular Estepona Orchid House, which is usually near several key murals, and take the opportunity to stroll through the city’s renovated and flower-filled old town.
The best advice is to wear very comfortable shoes and get a route map. You can download the official map or pick it up at the Tourist Office to locate exactly where each work is and plan a logical route.
