in San Pedro De Alcantara
The centre of San Pedro is located in between Estepona (20 km to the West) and
Marbella centre (6 km to the East); minutes from Puerto Banus. The Sierra de
Ronda mountain range is also a short drive inland.
Once a stand alone village, its location today can only be described as urban.
Very busy streets and wall to wall urbanisations and commercial areas struggling
to maintain equilibrium.
Directions from Malaga Airport:
Take: Avenida del Comandante Garcia Morat for 1.2km
Turn right onto: Avenida de Velazquez / N-340 for 2.5km
Take: Autopista del Mediterraneo / AP-7 / E-15 for 50km
Head towards exit 180 via A-7 / E-15 for 5km
Follow signs to San Pedro
Although the history of San Pedro de Alcantara is quite recent (almost 150 years
since the Marques del Duero founded the colony), there are historical
testimonies of a deeper past; including Las Bovedas, the ruins of roman third
century baths, the Palaeolithic-Christian Basilica of Vega del Mar, dating back
to the 6th century, or the 16th century Torre Vigia (monuments of historical
interest). Head down to the sea and the Roman baths are next to the Guadalmina
Beach Club and the artefacts from the Basilica including skeletons, pottery and
jewellery can be seen in museums in Malaga and Marbella.
San Pedro Alcantara owes its origin to General Manuel Gutierrez de la Concha e
Irigoyen, Marques del Duero, who founded the Agricultural Colony of San Pedro
Alcantara in 1860. The impossibility of keeping up with the high interest
payments on the loans obtained obliged the Marques, and thereafter, his
daughter, to sell the colony in 1874.
Today’s San Pedro has benefited from the influx of businesses since the onset of
mass tourism, such as hotels, golf courses, new water system and telephone
network to name but a few, yet it still remains relatively unspoiled.
The Avenida del Marques del Duero is an attractive palm fringed promenade
leading from the centre of town to the beach which is nearly 5km long and has
been awarded a Blue Flag.
The central plaza is home to the parish church and is surrounded by narrow
streets bursting with shops, cafés and bars. On Thursdays there is a keenly
priced street market above the old town, which attracts locals and visitors
alike.
Situated slightly to the west, Guadalmina beach is within the town of San Pedro
next to the Guadalmina urbanization. The facilities offered include the 4 star
Guadalmina Hotel, water sports, beach bars, restaurants (chiringitos) and sun
beds. This beach was also awarded a Blue Flag in 1992.
San Pedro itself is brimming with restaurants and cafes; should you wish to find
a typically Spanish tapas bar in one of the winding backstreets or a more up
market restaurant, they are all within reach. In addition, San Pedro’s proximity
to Puerto Banus and Marbella town offers the choice of hundreds of upmarket
restaurants and hotels.
The feria (summer fair) is held in the second week of October and is the last
feria in Andalucia. A word of caution when driving - San Pedro is a bottleneck
for traffic in both directions of the N340, especially at rush hour, and there
is limited parking in the centre of town.
The Costa del Sol is aptly named – the sun makes an appearance almost every day
and temperatures range from a mild 8ºC in the winter to a very pleasant 30ºC in
the summer, consequently outdoor activities play a huge part in our lives, from
the more energetic pursuits such as sailing, swimming and golf to the very
popular relaxing pastime of eating and drinking!
Enjoy a plethora of sports facilities and a dynamic range of culinary delights
available in the wide selection of fantastic restaurants and cafés in every town
and city on the Costa del Sol!
Culture vultures are certainly not forgotten. The magnificent historical cities
of Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba and Jerez are only a pleasant day trip away. Who
could visit the Alhambra in Granada and not be impressed! Conversely, North
Africa is an hour’s boat ride across the strait from Algeciras – Morocco,
Tangier, Casablanca - names to fire the imagination.
Enjoy ‘Costa Living’ to the full! Experience the vast cultural heritage of
Andalucía: fairs, festivals, castles, cathedrals, equestrian shows, bull-fights,
fine wines, electrifying flamenco music and dance and much more…
