San Pedro



Part of the municipality of Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara originated as a settlement built by the Marquis of Duero in 1860 although ancient ruins near the beach date back to Roman times and the 4th Century. The town, set back from the beach features pleasant plazas, pedestrianised shopping areas and plenty of restaurants and bars, many traditionally Spanish eateries.
