Lying just to the west of the flash of Marbella and to the south of the pretty Sierra de Ronda mountain range, San Pedro has a definitive, refreshing, unspoilt charm of its own born out of an ancient farming community working on sugarcane crops. The small streets leading o the central plaza are home to a collection of interesting shops, bars and cafés, with Thursday market day. Stroll down to the beach and you will find the promenade punctuated with welcoming chiringuitos, where fish dishes are a speciality.
