San Pedro's new library 'to be finished by end of 2026'

Marbella mayor Ángeles Muñoz has stressed that the new San Pedro Alcántara library, now under construction in the Jorge Lorenzo Tejada park in the El Arquillo area, will be a modern, functional space that meets local needs and strengthens cultural and educational services.

Scheduled for completion at the end of next year, the 1,300-square-metre facility will include a 700-square-metre study area, a reading room, book storage and an auditorium, as well as a rooftop area for cultural and educational activities. The circular, two-storey design adapts to the natural slope of the land and makes full use of natural light.

With a 3.8-million-euro budget co-funded by EU programmes, the project forms part of a wider plan to revitalise San Pedro, including the renovation of nearby Calle Coclé.
