San Pedro de Alcántara

Highlight • Settlement

San Pedro de Alcántara is a picturesque district of Marbella, located about ten kilometers west of the city center. 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. Originally the town was an agricultural center with sugar cane plantations and the Marquis planned it as a modern workers' colony. Today San Pedro is a thriving urban area that combines tradition and modernity.

The town offers several attractions, such as the church of San Pedro de Alcántara. 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. San Pedro Boulevard is a modern boulevard with impressive pedestrian bridges, green spaces, playgrounds and restaurants. An archaeological site is the Vega del Mar Basilica, which dates back to the late Roman period (4th to 6th centuries AD). It is one of the oldest early Christian churches in Spain, discovered in the middle of an ancient cemetery. San Pedro has a beautiful, quiet seafront promenade that leads all the way to Marbella. The beaches are less crowded than in other parts of Marbella and offer a relaxed ambience.

San Pedro de Alcántara stands out for its relaxed atmosphere, historical roots and less touristy appeal. It is ideal for cyclists who want to experience an authentic part of the Costa del Sol.
