San Pedro de Alcántara

San Pedro de Alcántara functions as Marbella's most self-contained urban district, with a pedestrianised boulevard, weekly market, and residential fabric that predates the resort economy. Twelve developers target mid-market buyers seeking walkable amenity and lower service charges than gated communities demand; entry sits at €439,000 for two-bedroom apartments in town-centre blocks. The emerging Nueva Alcántara waterfront, between the old town and Puerto Banús, attracts northern European second-home buyers and retirees who want beachfront access without Golden Mile pricing or the transience of tourist zones.
