San Pedro is located between Marbella and Estepona, 5 minutes from Puerto Banus and 10 minutes from Marbella centre. Although it is part of Marbella's city, San Pedro de Alcántara can be defined as a separate town. A destination away from luxuries in which tranquillity is the proper guide of its people.
We begin our tour in the old town where the Church and Town Hall square is located. The church dated from the year 1869 and was ordered to be built by the Marquis del Duero. In front there is a fountain and around several cafes and bars and on one side is the Town Hall. The square is beautiful!
From the church square, we went through the streets of the old town, full of bars and restaurants and with a lot of atmospheres until we reached the recently built San Pedro Avenue. The water, the aromatic plants and the Mediterranean vegetation species are the protagonists of this Avenue, where there is Wi-Fi throughout the area.

From here we went to the Promenade, a 12 Km long promenade that runs along the beach from San Pedro to Puerto Banús and beyond, to the centre of Marbella and the fishing port. It is actually part of the famous Senda Litoral de Málaga, a unique 163 km route that winds along the entire coast of the province of Málaga. The palm tree-line Boardwalk has flea market stalls and beach kiosks, bars, outdoor sports equipment, shady wooden desks for picnics, free parking and, of course, San Pedro's blue flag award-winning beaches which there are never saturated with people.

There are also some seafood and fish beach bars and we walked through the promenade until we found a very cool beach bar in front of the sea with an English singer enlivening the evening and we decided to have lunch there. We shared soupy seafood rice which is like paella but with a broth and is made in a pot. It was delicious!
And we end our day chatting with our neighbours at the next table and taking another walk on the beautiful beach and promenade. So if you are in the area, do not hesitate to visit San Pedro!

Roads are generally good and outside towns and cities, little traffic. Motorways are virtually empty and tolls cheap, ie 7euros per 100kms. In town it's chaotic and it's every man (or donkey)for himself.
Lots of motorhomes large (9ms plus) and small in popular spots. Last week we saw a convoy of 22 le voyageur motorhomes! Lots of money been spent in roads and better than many EU countries, eg Portugal, Italy.
