San Pedro de Alcántara is a town within Marbella municipality, about 10 km west of the centre, on a coastal plain between the Sierra Blanca and Sierra Bermeja. It was founded in 1860 as a sugar-cane farming colony. Since 2014 a landscaped boulevard has run over the undergrounded N-340, and a long promenade and cycle path line the beach.
