Actually, you have it right.
To wit: a pesar de translates to "despite", and despite has "spite" as its root. The phrase "in spite of" means the same thing as the word "despite". So a direct translation of one is also most likely a direct translation of the other.
On a side note, I think you should say más que instead of más de.
Anna, I could not think of any better version of you sentence. Are you looking for a translation to English?
