Las Lajas.
A rock reef on Buceo Estepona's local site list, formed by three submerged slabs that step down like stairs and in places form a half-pipe. On the second slab, at about 10–12 m, the centre reports around twenty conger eels, some living alongside morays. Spider crabs, anemones, gorgonians and the occasional European lobster are also reported.

Buceo Estepona publishes no access or conditions information for this site; its local dives are run from Estepona marina with boat service included. The centre describes the Estepona coast as fed by the Strait of Gibraltar, with plankton-rich water and a mix of Mediterranean and Atlantic species. Protection: Natura 2000 site ES6170036 'Fondos Marinos de la Bahía de Estepona' (about 575 ha, listed for reefs, a sea cave and Posidonia oceanica beds) lies off Estepona; whether Las Lajas falls inside it is not known.
