San Pedro de Alcántara

Highlight • Settlement

San Pedro de Alcántara is a picturesque district of Marbella, located about ten kilometers west of the city center. It is a charming coastal town that has retained its Andalusian character while offering modern facilities. San Pedro is a popular destination for visitors looking for a quieter and more authentic atmosphere compared to the more glamorous parts of Marbella. San Pedro de Alcántara was founded in 1860 by the Marquis del Duero, Manuel Gutiérrez de la Concha. Originally the town was an agricultural center with sugar cane plantations and the Marquis planned it as a modern workers' colony. Today San Pedro is a thriving urban area that combines tradition and modernity.

The town offers several attractions, such as the church of San Pedro de Alcántara. This church, built in the 19th century, is located in the heart of the town and is a fine example of traditional Andalusian architecture. It is located in a charming square surrounded by small cafes. San Pedro Boulevard is a modern boulevard with impressive pedestrian bridges, green spaces, playgrounds and restaurants. An archaeological site is the Vega del Mar Basilica, which dates back to the late Roman period (4th to 6th centuries AD). It is one of the oldest early Christian churches in Spain, discovered in the middle of an ancient cemetery. San Pedro has a beautiful, quiet seafront promenade that leads all the way to Marbella. The beaches are less crowded than in other parts of Marbella and offer a relaxed ambience.

San Pedro de Alcántara stands out for its relaxed atmosphere, historical roots and less touristy appeal. It is ideal for cyclists who want to experience an authentic part of the Costa del Sol.

Puerta de Carlos V

Highlight • Historical Site

The Puerta de Carlos V is an impressive triumphal arch in Ronda, located on the Plazuela Arquitecto Francisco Pons Sorolla. This gate was built in the 18th century during the reign of King Charles V.
The gate was designed to facilitate access to the city and has inscriptions and coats of arms referring to Charles V as the first Burgundian king of Spain. It is a beautiful example of the architecture of that period and also offers beautiful views of the city and its surroundings.

New Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge separates the old town from the newer part of the city, El Mercadillo, which emerged after the Spanish conquest. The abyss of more than 80 meters is spanned by the Puente Nuevo, which dates from the end of the 18th century. From the Plaza María Auxiliadora, there is an unpaved path that descends to the viewpoint, from where you can get the famous view of Ronda with the Puente Nuevo.

View of Jardines de Cuenca

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Jardines de Cuenca in Ronda are a picturesque example of the harmonious combination of nature and architecture. They are located on the north side of the Tajo Gorge. The gardens were named in honour of the city of Cuenca in Castile-La Mancha, a twin city of Ronda. The gardens are laid out in several terraces that run along the slope of the gorge. This staggered structure is typical of many Andalusian gardens.

Parador of Ronda

Highlight • Restaurant

The Parador occupies a spectacular spot in the heart of the city, next to Ronda's emblematic Puente Nuevo and occupies the former town hall. The location is incredible, with unparalleled views of the rio Guadalevín, next to the 120-meter-deep gorge.

City of Ronda

Highlight • Gorge

Anyone touring the region should visit this place. Ronda is truly beautiful, with a spectacular location on a high plateau crossed by the El Tajo gorge, which offers breathtaking views. Ronda offers numerous viewpoints from which you can overlook the picturesque Andalusian landscape, including the olive groves and vineyards. The beautiful view at sunset is a beautiful experience.
