San Pedro de Alcantara
San Pedro de Alcantara
San Pedro is a "localidad" within Marbella on the Costa del Sol which is located about 10 kms west of Marbella, and within a couple of kilometers of Puerto Banus. It is divided by the coast road N340 into the north´s older town which is a bustling community and typically very Spanish, and the newer southern part which is known as Nueva Alcantara and consists of a wonderful paseo maritimo along it´s shore line.
This area was traditionally known for it´s sugar-cane farming community. It maintains a lot of it´s authentic character and has grown considerably less dramatically than other locations along the Marbella coast.
Within San Pedro town there are a number of townhouses and detached villas. Closer to the beach are found a variety of newer apartment complexes.

Whatever the property preference, San Pedro is favoured as being one of the locations on the Costa del Sol where one can live by the beach but still benefit from the convenience of a real local town, with shops, markets and all sorts of services within it´s boundaries.
