Language accompaniment on the Costa del Sol
By your side,
in your language
Someone you can trust who goes with you to the doctor, the police, the notary or the bank — and speaks for you when language gets in the way. In person or remotely, in Estepona, Marbella, San Pedro, Benahavís, Manilva, Casares and all of the western Costa del Sol.
Living here shouldn’t mean being lost for words
You know the feeling: you’ve been on the coast for years, you get by day to day, but then comes the moment to explain your symptoms to a doctor, understand a contract or file a report, and suddenly language becomes a wall. It’s not about how much Spanish you know. It’s that there are moments when you need to be sure you’re understood — and that you understand.
That’s exactly why Costa Companion exists: a network of language companions who speak your language and the local one, and who sit by your side through whatever you need to sort out. They don’t translate and leave. They stay with you.
Simple, from the very first moment
Choose your language companion
Search by language, type of task and area. Each language companion has their own profile, experience and reviews from the people they’ve already helped.
Book the appointment
Suggest a day and time, or tell them what you need and let them propose one. You decide whether it’s in person or remote.
You’re not on your own
On the day, your language companion is with you. Before, during and after — so you come away knowing exactly what happened and what comes next.
For almost everything life here asks of you
These are some of the tasks our language companions help you with. If yours isn’t on the list, just ask — we can almost always help.
Health
Support at the doctor, A&E or a specialist. Explaining what’s wrong and understanding the diagnosis, without getting lost in the appointment.
Paperwork & admin
Police, reports, Immigration and NIE, town-hall registration, official appointments. Spanish bureaucracy, in your language.
Notary & legal admin
Signings, powers of attorney, official documents. Knowing what you’re signing before you sign it.
Buying & selling property
Viewings, negotiation, signing. Support through one of the most important decisions you’ll make here.
Banking
Opening or managing accounts, understanding the terms, talking to your branch.
Urgent phone interpretation
When you need someone on the phone right now, live.
Interview preparation
To walk into a job interview with confidence.

La Casa del Rey
Dining · Estepona
In the heart of the old town of Estepona, just a few steps from Plaza de las Flores, you will find La Casa del Rey, a wine bar and restaurant set within a beautifully restored house with more than 200 years of history. Since opening its doors on December 5th, 2012, it has become a unique place where fine wine, gastronomy, and local heritage come together. Every corner of the house reflects the spirit, history, and character of Estepona and its people. From the charming terrace and intimate interior courtyard, perfect for a relaxed evening, to the indoor tasting table designed for wine tastings and special gatherings, every detail has been carefully considered. The original concept and decoration of this wine and gastrobar were created by Liliane Reinders, owner of La Casa del Rey as well as other well-known venues in Estepona, including Real Burger and Bar Don Reinaldo. The renovation of the house was carried out with great respect for its historical identity, preserving the beauty and authenticity that make La Casa del Rey such a distinctive place in Estepona. We invite you to discover our house and experience its atmosphere for yourself. Welcome to La Casa del Rey.
