SAN PEDRO DE ALCANTARA TRAVEL GUIDE
Costa del Sol, SpainIf you are looking for a holiday hotel or apartment in San Pedro de Alcantara, the following information may help by giving you an overview on the resort.
San Pedro de Alcantara is a little town west of
Marbella, approximately 20km [12 ½ miles] and is located on a broad strip of coastal lowland sheltered by rocky hills.
Unlike the big holiday resorts, San Pedro de Alcantara boasts a genuine Spanish community. It has an easy-going, relaxed life style, and in the many hidden squares you will find the locals sipping coffee or an early morning fino and reading the daily newspaper in the morning sun. Its trendy interior design boutiques and elegant little restaurants are well patronised. All around are large, smart villas that lie hidden behind walls and sub-tropical gardens. Much of the town lies inland behind the coastal highway, and is a distance to the beach.
San Pedro de Alcantara boasts a well maintained stretch of Blue Flag seafront and three of the most appealing archaeological remains anywhere on the coast. There are superb watersports facilities at Bora-Bora Beach including water-skiing, rowboats, canoes and motorboats and not forgetting to mention scuba diving.
San Pedro de Alcantara dates back to the 1860s, when it was founded as a model farming community with an agricultural training school. Today, many of its country land are wealthy tourist enclaves or golf courses. Be sure to head for the Central Plaza with its gracious Parish Church and narrow streets, which are packed with small shops, sidewalk cafes and restaurants. On Thursdays is the street market with the usual hustle and bustle, which is a bargain shoppers' paradise!
Take a pleasant walk from the centre of town to the beachfront along the Avenida del Marques del Duero. It is an attractive wide avenue edged with palm trees. The modern promenade is perfect for continuing that walk and is lined with many beachside restaurants [chiringuitos].
