These distances are now solved with a spectacular bridge. In addition, the park is very popular with visitors and locals and offers a total of 6 children’s areas with many games. There is also an amphitheatre where concerts and performances take place.
Hiking routes
From San Pedro begins the route along the A-397 road towards Ronda 47 km away and the beautiful Serrania de Ronda mountain ranges, being the traditional route between Seville and the Costa del Sol.
History
Almost hidden among the developments there are two Roman vestiges; the III century Roman baths (near the mouth of Guadalmina river) and the Basilica de la Vega from the IV century (in Linda Vista urbanization).
Of past pirate raids on the coast gives evidence the XVI century Watchtower, located at the mouth of the River Guadalmina, a few meters from the Roman Baths.
Finally, it is especially remarkable the beautiful colonial style of Villa de San Luis and the nineteenth century Church, both located in the historic centre .
