San Pedro de Alcantara Fiestas Spanish towns and cities are famous for their festivals (fiestas), and San Pedro de Alcantara is no exception. There are plenty of fiestas throughout the town calendar, some larger than others. Here we list some of the more popular fiestas to look out for:-
One of the most popular celebrations in San Pedro takes place during Easter week. Easter is celebrated in a bigger way in Andalucia than in the rest of the country. Neighbouring towns compete with one another in terms of the size and grandeur of events. Festivities in San Pedro take the form of various religious processions through the streets of the old town. Every town/village in Andalucia province has its own summer feria/fair; San Pedro's summer fair is held on the week surrounding the 19th October, the day of the town's patron saint. During the day events take place in the streets of San Pedro's old town which are decorated with swathes of colour. Much tapas is enjoyed, as well as much drinking, singing and dancing. There are processions with many people wearing traditional dress. The evenings move towards the Recinto Ferial (public fairground) area on the outskirts of the town where there is much singing, dancing and yet more eating and drinking; though organised entertainment is laid out here both for children and adults (should they wish to participate). As always, events culminate with a grandeus firework display.
Precise dates cannot be given for many of the above festivities due to dates fluctuating on an annual basis. The best advice we can give for those planning their holiday at fiesta time is to contact the San Pedro tourist office. Their contact details are as follows: -
