Overview

edit

It is busiest during the summer months, when people come from other surrounding areas to the town, where they might have grown up or have family from there.

In San Pedro existed a convent for both nuns and monks. The present church is located within a very fertile lot of land where agriculture exists. The outside of the church is one of the more significant points in the espadaña (bell-gable), and the interior, as it could not be another way, has its larger altarpiece and a baptismal.

The result of this, is that the houses are very sunny. The layout is very irregular, without any type of urban planning. When not existing stone quarries, the traditional houses are of marinates.
