It is a charming coastal town that has retained its Andalusian character while offering modern facilities. San Pedro is a popular destination for visitors looking for a quieter and more authentic atmosphere compared to the more glamorous parts of Marbella. San Pedro de Alcántara was founded in 1860 by the Marquis del Duero, Manuel Gutiérrez de la Concha.

This church, built in the 19th century, is located in the heart of the town and is a fine example of traditional Andalusian architecture. It is located in a charming square surrounded by small cafes.

An archaeological site is the Vega del Mar Basilica, which dates back to the late Roman period (4th to 6th centuries AD).

The “La Victoria Monument” in Marbella, also known as the Monument to Victory or the Victory Column. The sculpture was designed by Vicente Menendez Conde and stands in a central location in Marbella. The monument is a tribute to the victory of freedom and democracy in Spain, not specifically a military victory. It is often seen as a symbol of progress and peace in the region. The sculpture itself represents a wing-like figure symbolizing triumph and advancement. The dynamism of the forms conveys a sense of movement and lightness. Sometimes the monument is also interpreted as a reference to the reconstruction of Marbella after the Spanish Civil War, as Marbella experienced a period of modernization and economic recovery after the Franco era. The monument is designed in a modern, abstract style, which is characteristic of the artist Vicente Menéndez Conde. The wing-like shape draws the eye and stands out from the surrounding architecture. It was deliberately designed to symbolize hope and progress.
