Villa Andalla

San Pedro has a relaxed ambience though there is plenty to do. The wide, palm-lined boulevard leads to the glorious beach and the beautifully tiled promenade. Lush gardens are on one side of the promenade and the sandy banks on the other. There are many beach bars, most specialising in true Mediterranean cuisine including paella, fresh fish and of course tapas.  San Pedro has some interesting architecture including the Roman baths, the Paleochristian Basilica Church and Necropolis and the Parish Church of San Pedro Alcantara. The central plaza is great for a stroll. The narrow streets surrounding it are packed with intriguing small shops, sidewalk cafes and bars.  Marbella and its close neighbour Puerto Banus are renowned, not only for their amazing climate but also for the entertainment, culture, fantastic gastronomy and boutique shopping available. The area is a playground for the rich, especially the flashy, dazzling Puerto Banus. Splendid beaches boast kilometres of golden-white sand and brilliant beach bars known as chiringuitos.  The old part of Marbella is charming with its Arabic characteristics. Its quaint, narrow streets are flanked by traditional old buildings with balconies adorned with beautiful flowers. The old town is full of squares and beautiful corners, including the captivating Plaza de los Naranjos at the heart of it. Plaza de la Iglesia is also very beautiful and often hosts markets and concerts. You will find atmospheric specialist shops offering souvenirs, olive oil, local pottery and lace adorning the streets.  Guests may also consider visiting Gibraltar, nipping over to the mythical Tangiers or escaping to the deserted beaches of the Atlantic coastline of Cadiz.
