San Pedro Alcantara

San Pedro de Alcantara embodies the essence of “traditional Spain,” yet it remains relatively undiscovered on the mainstream international tourist circuits. You won’t find attention-seeking social media posts boasting about wild weekends spent in San Pedro. Instead, this town embraces its tranquil character, choosing to stay peacefully off the radar.

The heart of San Pedro de Alcantara is a square-shaped ensemble of closely-knit whitewashed buildings, featuring straight and narrow streets. At its center stands a charming church overlooking the main plaza. Recently, a newly developed boulevard has created a seamless architectural link between the village and its coastal area and promenade, adding a refreshing modern touch to the town’s ambiance. San Pedro de Alcantara remains a serene and unassuming gem, inviting visitors to discover its understated beauty away from the bustling tourist trails.
