Villa to renovate in Benahavis near San Pedro de Alcantara, Marbella This rustic Spanish-style villa is a rare renovation and development opportunity set on a large 4,084 m² corner plot in one of the last untouched residential pockets Puerto del Almendro, near San Pedro de Alcántara and the famous Los Arqueros Golf in Benahavís, with fast access to the motorway connecting directly to Málaga Airport.
