San Pedro is a fishing port town with coastlines on both the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean. This northern end of the Mar Menor is abundant in healing mud, rich in salts of sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and sulphur, including chlorides, flourides and iodides. The Mediterranean side has two beaches called El Mojon and La Llana, the latter being 2.5Km long. The town sports a casino and some impressive 19th century architecture including the palacial house 'Condes de Villar de Felices' and the 'Casa de Reloj' (clock house). The old 'Hogar del Pescador' is now home to the San Pedro Museum of the Sea. Street markets are held every Monday, and since 1796 local residents have held an annual fiesta on 29th June when there's always live music and an animal market. On January 5 there's the Magic Kings Cavalcade, a sea procession which lands at Lo Pagan and proceeds by road to the town centre. Lo Pagan is the Mar Menor beach area of San Pedro. It's right next door to the village of La Ribera. This place really comes into its own in the summer. The area and beach called La Cuerva offers dozens of bars and nightclubs which buzz right on through the dawn. | |
