San Pedro Property for Sale - San Perdro Properties, Costa Del Sol, Spain

In a narrow winding back street of San Pedro, Bodega San Pedro has been in the same family for three generations, filling bottles with local wine from enormous oak barrels which line one wall. Angeles shrugs her shoulders when asked about 'progress' in the town. "The most important thing is that the small shops remain," she says. "They breathe life into a village."

In short, at its core San Pedro remains a refreshingly unspoiled pueblo, and the fact that the centre is set back a kilometre from the beachfront is undoubtedly a contributory factor.
Typically Andalusian, the heart of the town is its main church plaza framed by lofty palm trees.

The surrounding labyrinth of streets are packed with intriguing small shops, sidewalk cafés, bars and people, especially on Thursday mornings - street market day. Shaded by orange trees, the Avenida del Marques del Duero leads to the seafront promenade which one day, hopefully soon will be extended to reach Marbella . A new marina for San Pedro is also on the drawing board.

In Greek and Roman times, this part of the Costa Del Sol was celebrated for its excellent fish, particularly tuna, as well as the fertile agricultural land. Guadalmina, now a golf course and housing development on the southern outskirts of town, was once a vast sugar plane plantation.

This former farming community enjoys a sheltered and ideal microclimate; a fact well-appreciated when you head west out of San Pedro with the uninterrupted views of the Sierra Bermeja mountain range. It's not unusual to see horses grazing by the roadside or a couple of lumbering oxen wearing woolly hats like tea cosies pulling a plough off on the horizon. Lofty eucalyptus trees flank a dried up river bed and, instead of the rows of colour co-ordinated beach umbrellas, ancient Arab watchtowers grace the beach.

San Pedro is also an excellent base for golfers with some of the Costa Del Sol 's best-known golf courses within easy reach, including Los Naranjos and La Dama de Noche (the only floodlit course on the Costa del Sol).

San Pedro has one International School , St George's School for students from 3-8 years.
