San Pedro is just West of Marbella. An ancient farming community, once famous for its sugar cane, today San Pedro is a refreshingly unspoilt pueblo with an appeal all of its own. 

Be sure to head for the central plaza with its gracious parish church and surrounding narrow streets, which are packed with intriguing small shops, sidewalk cafes and bars. Thursday is street market day with all the associated hustle and bustle, a veritable bargain shopper's paradise. 

A pleasant walk is from the centre of town to the beachfront, along the Avenida del Marques del Duero, that is a particularly attractive wide avenue flanked by palm trees. This modern wide promenade is ideal for continuing your stroll where you will pass several excellent chiringuitos (beachside restaurants) specialising in fish dishes.

Nueva Alcantara

Nueva Alcantara is the beach side area by San Pedro, which is home to a great deal of new developments. This thriving area houses shops, restaurants, hotels and property aplenty.
