San Pedro de Alcántara is in an ideal location, just 10 kilometres west from all the glitz and glamour of Marbella yet just a few minutes drive away from the natural beauty of the Sierra de Ronda mountain range and 20 km from the town of Estepona. An ancient farming community, once famous for 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 here 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, a veritable bargain shopper's paradise. The beachfront along the Avenida del Marques del Duero is a particularly attractive wide avenue flanked by palm trees. The modern wide promenade is ideal for continuing your stroll or rollerblading with several excellent chiringuitos (beachside restaurant).
