San Pedro de Alcantara Tourist Information - Costa del Sol

 San Pedro de Alcantara Holiday Rentals

San Pedro de Alcantara was once famous for sugar cane production, today, San Pedro is a refreshingly unspoilt pueblo. its small shops maintain the life and integrity of the town and despite the development progress happening around, local people still conduct their way of life as normal. Strict building regulations ensure that no new buildings can exceed three storeys and much of the surrounding countryside is well protected with Selwo adventure park, the largest game reserve in Europe having recently reopened after enhancements to its visitor attractions and offering over 100 hectares comprising botanical gardens, lake, 'the little farm' aimed at young kids and some 2,500 wild animals. There is a pleasant walk from the centre of town to the beachfront along an attractive wide avenue flanked by palm trees and the modern promenade is ideal for continuing your stroll with several excellent chiringuitos (beachside restaurants) specialising in fish dishes. A little further west along the beach to Guadalmina are the restored remains of the roman baths. Only 55 minutes from Malaga airport.

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 with all the associated hustle and bustle; a veritable bargain shopper's paradise. A pleasant walk is from the centre of town to the beachfront along the Avenida del Marques del Duero which is a particularly attractive wide avenue flanked by palm trees. And the modern wide promenade is ideal for continuing your stroll (or skateboarding!) with several excellent chiringuitos (beachside restaurants) specialising in fish dishes. Visit Bora Bora if only for a drink at the bar. It is one of the best beach clubs on the coast, with a superb restaurant and all the usual beach facilities, a tropical paradise.

San Pedro also has the last summer fair ( feria ) in Andalucia being in the second week in October. History buffs will enjoy the Paleochristian Balisilica Church by the sea and the third century Roman Baths, Las Bovedas. Check at the local tourist office for timings. The Paleochristian Balisilica Church and Necropolis is located in the woods next to the Bora Bora Beach Club that is on the sea front directly infront of the town. A little further west along the beach to Guadalmina is located the restored remains of the Roman Baths. If driving leave San Pedro westward towards Estepona. Stop at the tourist office in the Arch for the keys. After passing under the Marbella Arch, turn right and double back under the road tunnel. Head down to the sea and the Roman baths are next to the Guadlamina Beach Club.
