San Pedro and Guadalmina
San Pedro and Guadalmina
San Pedro is considered a first-class tourist resort, home to a number of luxury housing complexes, golf courses and excellent beaches, while still retaining features of its colonial past. The people of this area reflect the regional culture of Southern Spain. However an exclusive residential area, located within the prestigious Guadalmina golf course, is home to some of the long established millionaires on the Coast. Apart from the privileged Spaniards living in Guadalmina, affluent northern Europeans have opted to purchase their second home here and numerous British young professional couples deside to relocate to this area. 

 

 

San Pedro and Guadalmina

 

 

Where is San Pedro?


San Pedro de Alcantara is situated just 10km to the west of Marbella, 20km east from Estepona, 2km from Puerto Banús and only few minutes from the spectacular beauty of the Sierra de Ronda Mountains. Guadalmina is right next to San Pedro - a custom-built, beachside community, which is located about 15 minutes drive from Marbella and 60km from Malaga Airport. 

 

 

Getting Around


San Pedro de Alcántara is located on the Costa del Sol' toll free Autovía (CN340 or A7). You can also access it via the Coast’s new toll motorway AP-7. If driving to San Pedro de Alcántara from Sevilla or Ronda simply take the scenic C339 road. 

 

It’s only fair to warn people about the ongoing road works in the San Pedro area. The project began in May/June 2007, but the economic crisis has severely slowed down progress and the final outcome of the development will be the long awaited San Pedro underground tunnel, measuring one kilometre in length. Traffic flow has been affected but the area looks forward to its completion and a vastly improved system.

 

Fortunately, most of the town can be visited on foot, but you need some transportation if you're going to the  adjacent Guadalmina or further beaches. For example take the Portillo bus, which is the cheapest form of public transportation and the come by every half hour. The bus stop in San Pedro is near the tennis club and if you wish to catch the bus from Guadalmina, the stop is located on the A7 in front of the Guadalmina Alta commercial centre. If you find the bus uncomfortable grab a cab from Taxi Luna on Calle Del Sur or from Sur Taxi on Calle Marqués del Duero. If you have no luck there don’t worry, there should be plenty of taxis on the streets.

 

 

Things To Do san Pedro

 

San Pedro Beaches


Across the main road and opposite the main street is a wide, tree-lined boulevard that leads down to the beach. San Pedro’s 2 km long beautifully tiled promenade is very wide and delightful, and there you can enjoy the mixture of lush gardens on one side and beautiful sandy beaches on the other side. There are several chiringuitos and beach bars all the way along, and most of them specialise in the true Spanish Mediterranean cuisine including paella and fresh seafood.

 

Guadalmina beach - this 1,6 km long and 30m is located near to Guadalmina Baja (south section of the urbanization).

 

San Pedro Beach - It is a 1 km long and 35m wide beach, that is made up by medium dark sand.

 

Linda Vista Beach - Its is a 550m long and 40m wide beach that is situated next to the Linda Vista Urbanisation.

 

Like most beaches on the coast you can rent jet skis, practice water sports, or simply go for a dip in the warm Mediterranean. The sand is great for kids, there are plenty of lifeguard towers and there is lots of shade provided by groves of eucalyptus trees.

 

San Pedro Shopping 


The Guadalmina Commercial centre provides a range of services including supermarket, banks, furniture stores and also numerous cafes and restaurants.

Every Thursday morning there is a street market o the town's fairground, where you can buy local produce, handmade crafts, jewellery, clothes etc. The Market in Guadalmina residential area takes place every Sunday from 10am-3pm and it is located in the shopping complex behind Supersol Supermarket.

 

San Pedro Gym, Golf and Other Sports 


San Pedro is one of the best areas on the coast for sports activities. In the municipal sport centre, located in the town centre on Calle Fuente Nueva, you can enjoy football, volleyball, tennis, aerobic, gym, swimming and more! 

 

Club de Padel and Tenis de Nueva Alcantara is one of San Pedro’s major racket sport hubs. It is located on CN340 km 171.5 and also has a gym, dance, paddle and tennis facilities and even its own hairdresser!

San Pedro History and Sights

 

Roman baths(Las Bovedas) from the 3rd century are definitely worth visit. They are next to the Guadlamina Beach Club. Telephone: 952781360 

 

The Paleochristian Basilica 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. 

 

 

Parish Church of San Pedro Alcantara

The parish church was constructed by the Marqués del Duero in 1866, restored after the fires of 1936 and opened again for worship in 1943. Situated in the heart of San Pedro Alcántara, specifically in the square from which it gets its name, it was one of the first buildings in the major urban project of the Marquis and is a representative example of colonial architecture. Notable are the purity of its lines and its elegant tower portico and facade, composed of a triple portico on the ground floor, with semi-circular arches matching the central nave and two lateral areas matching the lateral naves.

 

The central plaza is also a place to go for a walk. The gracious parish church and surrounding narrow streets 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.

 

 

San Pedro Nightlife

 

San Pedro is not known for wild nightlife. An evening in San Pedro de Alcántara usually consists of a delicious meal and a couple of drinks at a local bar. Therefore the atmosphere is more relaxed than many of the Coast’s others towns. You don't have to dress up, just be yourself. If you want to party grab a cab to Puerto Banus that is just a ride away.
