While still retaining features of its colonial past in the town centre around the square with the church, San Pedro de Alcántara has developed into a first class tourist destination with luxury housing complexes, quality restaurants and a 2 km long beautifully tiles promenade alongside the beach.
Located just next to Puerto Banus and Marbella, with easy access to both the mountains and the sea, and surrounded by international schools, supermarkets, sporting facilities and medical centres, it is not surprising that san pedro has become a preferred spot for foreign residents.
