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.
Beaches:
"Nueva Alcántara" is the beach side area by San Pedro, which is home to a great deal of new development. This thriving area houses shops, restaurants, hotels and property aplenty. All these beaches are carefully kept, being that of San Pedro Alcántara - Guadalmina (4.900 mts.), closed to the new and beautiful Sea-way promenade, awarded with the Blue Flag Beach from 1.993.
Places to visit:
The Paleochritian 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.
