Information on the old town
In contrast to many other villages along the Costa del Sol, which transformed their historic town centers into hotels, San Pedro chose to preserve its charming old town. This decision has allowed the village to maintain its authentic character and historical architecture.

Visiting the old town in San Pedro is like stepping back in time, offering a glimpse into the area's traditional Andalusian culture and architecture. It provides a unique and tranquil contrast to the bustling coastal areas nearby.
