Spotlight on the Guadalmina shopping area

San Pedro is the perfect location to shop around its town centre, but there is another area, which is just a two-minute drive from the town. Or, if you don’t want to drive and are up for a nice stroll that leads you past a meandering golf course, then the Guadalmina commercial centre is just 20 minutes walking distance.

Set in the Guadalmina Alta area, on the western side of San Pedro Alcántara, it can be accessed either from the side street next to the medical centre (Centro de Salud de San Pedro), going down through C/Dr. Eduardo Evangelista or more frequently via the side street from McDonalds next to the A7 junction, which leads directly to the centre. With plenty of businesses, banks, restaurants, supermarkets, vets, hairdressers etc, providing all kind of amenities and services, it is worth a visit.

Why not pop around and check out the lovely shops and stores in this location if you haven’t been down to this area yet, or as a reminder, here are some of our favourite spots:
