The City Council and the Andalusian Regional Government have signed today the agreement for the construction of the San Pedro Alcántara transport interchange. The Mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, and the Minister of Public Works, Rocío Díaz, have signed the collaboration agreement for the tendering of the drafting of the project and the subsequent construction of the new bus station, which will be located on a plot of 8,500 square metres next to the A7. The Mayor, who has thanked the Andalusian Government for “its commitment to Marbella”, has stressed that “it will be a very important facility that will improve the mobility and connectivity of the municipality”. The Andalusian Government will allocate 1.5 million to this infrastructure, which will have six bays and will handle more than one hundred daily trips, while the Council will invest 500,000 euros in the development of the adjacent plot, where 270 parking spaces will be available.
The mayor recalled that the City Council gave the Andalusian Executive the land, located in the area known as El Cielo de San Pedro, south of the Ronda road, “because we understood that it was a strategic location to connect different Andalusian towns and cities”, and detailed that the municipal works will include the provision of all the services necessary for the operation of the facilities, as well as charging points for electric vehicles. For her part, Díaz has emphasized that the agreement “reflects the commitment made by the Government of Juanma Moreno to meet a historic demand for mobility in Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara”. “Thanks to the collaboration between administrations, we are going to launch an infrastructure that will concentrate all the public transport in the city and that will be a connection point with the rest of the province and Andalusia,” said the councilor. The forecast, she reported, is that the project will be drawn up throughout this year and that the works will go out to tender in the first four months of 2026.
Finally, the Director General of Transport Infrastructure, Eduardo Gutiérrez, has pointed out that the aim of the project is to “promote public transport”, while he has stressed that “currently this service is provided at three stops located along San Pedro Alcántara in different streets and, due to the population and the influx of buses and connections, we needed to have facilities in line with the number of daily services provided”. He added that, next to the vehicle bays, there will be a central building of 120 square metres with a waiting area, a restaurant area, toilets and ticket offices.
